Richard Twining (cricketer)

Richard Haynes Twining CBE (3 November 1889 – 3 January 1979) was an English cricketer who played 78 first-class matches between 1910 and 1928.

Most of his games were for Middlesex and Oxford University, for whom he appeared 32 times apiece, but the rest were spread between nine other sides.

He was very badly injured in the knee in Gallipoli and it was feared that his cricket career was over, and even though he was able resume playing he was lame.

[2] Twining's most important contribution to a cricket match was in the County Championship decider at Surrey at Lord's in 1921.

[3] Twining was a stockbroker; he was deputy chairman of the London Stock Exchange 1949–58 and was appointed CBE for that service in the New Year Honours of 1959.
