Robert Burrows (cricketer)

Robert Dickson Burrows (6 June 1871 – 12 February 1943) was a first-class cricketer who played for Worcestershire County Cricket Club between 1899 and 1919, he also umpired one test match and set a world record in 1911 when he sent a bail spinning 67 yards and 6 inches when he bowled Huddleston at Old Trafford.

He bowled right arm fast medium and was a more than handy right-handed batsman.

Burrows scored 112 against Gloucestershire County Cricket Club at Worcester in 1907 and averaged 25.28, but his bowling fell to 57 wickets at 24 runs apiece, as Arnold and Cuffe came to the fore.

He recorded his second first-class century, 107* again against Gloucestershire, at Worcester in July 1914, when he batted number ten.
