Algernon Bligh

Algernon Stuart Bligh (6 October 1888 – 27 December 1952) played first-class cricket for Somerset from 1922 to 1926, appearing in 12 games in 1925.

He was descended from the Earls of Darnley and was a cousin of Ivo Bligh, the England cricket captain who retrieved The Ashes from Australia in 1882–83.

Bligh was a right-handed batsman, most successfully in the middle-order but in several of his games for Somerset he opened the innings.

In the match against Glamorgan at Cardiff Arms Park in 1925, he made an unbeaten 73 in the second innings, and this was the highest score of his career.

[3] Wisden reported that he "batted admirably for two hours and three quarters".
