Albert Frederick Lane (29 August 1885 – 29 January 1948), nicknamed Spinney,[1] was an English amateur first-class cricketer who played more than 50 games for both Warwickshire and Worcestershire between 1914 and 1932, as well as having earlier appeared in the Minor Counties Championship for Staffordshire.
[3] His next game the following month was little better: another heavy defeat, this time to Essex at Colchester, and 26 not out in the second innings could not make up for match figures of 22–1–94–0.
[4] He finally took his maiden wicket at the third attempt, when he claimed the solitary scalp of Hampshire's Phil Mead at Dudley at the end of June.
[1] After that season, Lane played no more regular first-class cricket, though he did make a final, one-off, appearance for Worcestershire three years later versus Essex at Leyton.
This was the scene of his heroics in 1929, but a repeat was not to be: Lane had a quiet match, scoring 3 and 18 and not bowling in a drawn game.
