George Wood (cricketer, born 1893)

George Edward Charles Wood (22 August 1893 – 18 March 1971) was an English cricketer who played in 3 Test matches in 1924.

He turned down an invitation to tour Australia in 1920/21 but played for the amateur team led by Archie MacLaren which defeated the Australians in 1921.

The first was the remarkable match at Edgbaston in June which saw South Africa bowled out for just 30 in reply to England's imposing 438.

Wood's last Test match was the third in the series, played at Headingley in July, which England again won in convincing style.

Although run out for just 6, Wood took 3 catches and completed a stumping as England ran out winners by 9 wickets.
