Herbert Baldwin (cricketer)

Herbert George Baldwin (1893–1969) was a first-class cricketer and Test match umpire. Born in 1893 in Hampshire, Baldwin played 33 games for Surrey as a right-handed batsman and occasional leg break bowler with modest returns, although he was a noted fielder in the covers.

He umpired in first-class cricket for nearly three decades, including nine Tests after the war up until 1953. He called 19 no balls in 3 overs in Australia's match against Worcestershire in 1938 when fast bowler Ernie McCormick lost his run-up.

Baldwin was the son of Hampshire cricketer Harry Baldwin who represented Hampshire between 1877 and 1905. Harry, like his son, also stood as a first-class umpire.
