Owen Burrows


Arthur Owen Burrows was an Australian cricketer. He played 32 first-class matches between 1923 and 1937, mostly for Tasmania.
Burrows was a pacy opening bowler and useful lower-order batsman. In the 1929–30 season he played a match for Woodfull's XI versus Ryder's XI. His best first-class bowling figures were 5 for 35 in Tasmania's victory over Victoria in 1931-32. In a senior Hobart club match in November 1925, Burrows bowled a ball that, in dismissing a batsman, knocked a bail 83 yards 1 foot 9 inches, which is believed to be a world record.
Burrows married Edna Gorringe in Hobart in November 1933. He died in Hobart in January 1984, aged 80.
