Lionel Montague Cranfield (29 August 1909 – 18 November 1993) played first-class cricket for Gloucestershire between 1934 and 1951.
[8] When first-class cricket resumed after the Second World War in the 1946 season, Sinfield had retired and Goddard was 45 years old.
But though that gave Cranfield a more reliable place in the Gloucestershire side, he did not do much more bowling than before, as Sam Cook emerged as a slow left-arm spin bowler to partner Goddard.
[2] The 1947 season, when Gloucestershire chased Middlesex hard for the County Championship, was Cranfield best as a batsman by some distance: he made three scores of more than 50 to add to his solitary effort in 1935.
Against Cambridge University, he made 67 and helped Jack Crapp put on 172 for the eighth wicket.
