Stanley Keppel "Shunter" Coen (14 October 1902 – 28 January 1967) was a South African cricketer who played in two Test matches in 1927–28.
[2] He then followed this, in his only other first-class match of the season, with 103 against a team of English Test and county players on an unofficial tour organised by the South African entrepreneur S. B.
Coen made 87 in the first innings of the game against Eastern Province and then, again in partnership with Commaille, he hit 132 out of an unbroken first-wicket stand of 236 which also remains as an Orange Free State/Free State record and which won the match.
[7] The first Test was not a success for South Africa, which lost the match by 10 wickets, but although he sustained an ankle injury in the game, Coen's reputation was not much damaged.
[8] The Times reported that "[England] captain Stanyforth tried Stevens, Hammond, Peebles, Geary and Astill in turn, but the South African batsmen played all the bowling on its merits, never hesitating to score off a loose ball.
