Andrew Pope (cricketer)

Andrew Noble Pope (14 November 1881 – 18 April 1942) was an English cricketer. Pope's batting style is unknown. He was born at Clifton, Bristol.

Pope made two first-class appearances for Gloucestershire in the 1911 County Championship, both against Middlesex.[1] In his first match at Lord's, Gloucestershire won the toss and elected to bat, with Pope being dismissed for a single run by J. T. Hearne in Gloucestershire's first-innings of 137. Middlesex made 186 in their first-innings, with Gloucestershire then scoring 146 in their second-innings, during which Pope was promoted up the batting order to bat at number three, scoring 29 runs before he was dismissed for a second time by J. T. Hearne. Middlesex reached their target in their second-innings with seven wickets to spare.[2] In his second match at the Spa Ground, Gloucester, Middlesex won the toss and elected to bat, making 369 in their first-innings. Gloucestershire then made just 150 in their first-innings, during which Pope (who kept in this match in place of regular wicket-keeper Jack Board) was dismissed for 4 runs by J. T. Hearne. Forced to follow-on, Gloucestershire fared better in their second-innings, making just 156. Pope was again dismissed by J. T. Hearne, after scoring 12 runs. Middlesex won by an innings and 63 runs.[3]

He died at Cheltenham, Gloucestershire on 18 April 1942.
