Arthur Henry Seymour Clark (26 March 1902 – 17 March 1995), was a first-class cricketer who played five times for Somerset in the 1930 English cricket season and set a record for the number of innings batted without scoring a run that appears not to have been surpassed.
Three years later he was called into the Somerset side for five matches when regular wicketkeeper Wally Luckes was ill.[1] He took eight catches, and Wisden Cricketers' Almanack for 1931 said that he "rendered useful service in that capacity".
[2] In the match against Northamptonshire at Kettering, he was not out in both innings and failed to score, but otherwise he was out for 0, bowled five times and caught twice.
Nine innings is believed to be the record for a first-class cricketer who failed to score a single run.
John Howarth of Nottinghamshire played in 13 matches without scoring, but batted only seven times.
