Brian Ward (cricketer)
Brian Ward (born 28 February 1944) is an English former cricketer. He played for Essex between 1967 and 1972.[1] He later represented Argentina. Ward played seven seasons for Essex, usually as an opening batsman. He made his highest score against Nottinghamshire in 1970, when he batted five and three-quarter hours for 164 not out and added an unbroken 208 for the third wicket with Keith Fletcher.[2] His most successful season was 1971, when he scored 968 first-class runs at an average of 27.65.[3] Wisden commented at the time that he had made a "notable advance" and "served the side well by patient methods".[4] After the 1972 season, when he "was responsible for some stern but nevertheless helpful displays", he left first-class cricket.[5] Later Ward spent some time in Argentina, coaching and playing cricket. He represented the country at the inaugural ICC Trophy in England in 1979, but without personal or team success.[6] He married an Argentine woman and moved to Uruguay.[7] References
