Sydney Austen Cowper (13 October 1885 – 17 June 1960) was a South African-born cricketer whose six-match first-class career spanned from 1908 to 1924.
[4] Arriving in Buenos Aires in July 1910,[5] Cowper became one of the many workers of British and Irish ancestry in Argentina (and neighbouring countries).
[6] During the following 1911–12 season, a Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) side toured Argentina from England, playing a number of fixtures.
Coming in eighth in the batting order in the second innings, Cowper scored 182 runs out of a team total of 274, before finally being dismissed by Rockley Wilson.
[8][9] By March 1921, Cowper had returned to Africa, playing for Salisbury (now Harare) against Bulawayo in Southern Rhodesia's Logan Cup.
