Edwin Cooper (30 November 1915 – 29 October 1968) was an English cricketer:[1] a right-handed batsman who played 249 first-class matches for Worcestershire (and one for North of England) between 1936 and 1951.
Born in Bacup, Lancashire, Cooper made his first-class debut for Worcestershire against Oxford University in May 1936, making 2 and 28.
In 1938, he made his highest score, 216 not out, against Warwickshire, and again did well in 1939 before the Second World War brought a halt to first-class cricket.
He rounded off his career with two more satisfactory summers, as well as a benefit season (which raised £3,000) in his final year of 1951.
His brother, Fred, who played 44 first-class games, opened the batting for Worcestershire in that match.
