Description

Wandsworth, London born all-rounder Geoffrey Lowndes played for Oxford University, Hampshire and the Marylebone Cricket Club between 1921 and 1936. Lowndes was a right-handed batsman and bowled right-arm medium-fast pace.

Educated at New College, Oxford, Lowndes made his first class debut in 1921 for Oxford University against The Free Foresters. In 1924 he joined Hampshire, and played for them to 1935, captaining the side in 1934 and 1935. Lowndes also made five appearances for the Marylebone Cricket Club between 1928 and 1934. His final first class appearance was a mirror to his debut match; Oxford University played the Free Foresters, but this time he played against the university. In 79 first class matches he scored 3,244 runs at an average of 24.02, with a highest score of 218 among 5 centuries and 14 half centuries. He took 78 wickets with his bowling at an average of 38.50, with a best return of 3-5, and took 38 catches in the first class game.

Lowndes’ father William Frith was also a cricketer who played for Buckinghamshire and London County, changed his surname and that of his issue from Frith to Frith Lowndes in July 1906.
