Robert Warton (umpire)

Lieutenant-Colonel Robert Gardner Warton (16 January 1847 – 20 September 1923) umpired two Test matches in South Africa in 1889.

Only Bernard Tancred (29) and South Africa captain Owen Dunell (26) (and extras) achieving double figures.

South Africa reached 129 in their second innings, setting England a target of 66 to win, which was achieved with only 2 wickets down, with Abel 23 not out.

Due to the indisposition of Smith, 23-year-old Monty Bowden became England's youngest Test captain, a record which still stands.

Only South Africa wicket-keeper Fred Smith managed double figures, bowled by Briggs for 11.

Warton spent 20 years in retirement in the Channel Islands, and died in Pontac in Jersey.
