During the year the following former New Zealand players passed away:
Eric Tindill, BLACKCAP #31
Colin Snedden, BLACKCAP #43
Eric Tindill (1910-2011), known as “Snowy” was the world’s oldest
surviving Test cricketer when he died, aged 99.
The left-handed wicket-keeper batsman played in five Tests for New
Zealand, making his debut against England at Lord’s in 1937.
The talented sportsman also represented New Zealand in rugby,
turning out for the All Blacks from 1935 to 1938, touring both England
and Australia.
Tindill made his First-Class debut in a Plunket Shield match for
Wellington against Auckland in the summer of 1932/33 with his career
spanning 18 seasons until 1949/50. Like many of his generation, his
cricket was interrupted by World War II, during which he served as
member of the NZEF.
After retiring as a player he went onto serve as a selector, umpire and
administrator.
Colin Snedden (1918-2011), a right-arm off-break bowler, played a
single Test against England in 1947. It was a rain affected encounter with
Snedden bowling 16 overs for 46 runs.
Remarkably, his nine First-Class matches spanned 11 years, making his
debut in 1938, shortly before the war interrupted his career. He played
his last match in 1949.
