Arthur Edward Dick (born 10 October 1936) is a former cricketer who played 17 Test matches for New Zealand as a batsman and wicket-keeper between 1961 and 1965.
John Ward, who was also selected, was an experienced wicket-keeper who had toured England in 1958, but his batting was weak, and so Dick, who had kept wicket only once in first-class cricket, for Otago against the MCC in 1958–59, was given a chance with the gloves.
[2] However, his wicket-keeping form improved when the team reached Africa and he kept wicket in all five Tests, taking 21 catches and 2 stumpings, although he conceded 52 byes in the series, against only 9 by his South African counterpart John Waite.
In the next four years Ward, Eric Petrie, Roy Harford and Barry Milburn all had a few Tests as New Zealand's wicket-keeper before Ken Wadsworth established himself in the position in 1969.
Beginning with the 1973–74 season, the Arthur Dick Cup has been awarded annually to the leading run-scorer in Wellington club cricket.
