Cricket career
Scott was a middle-order right-handed batsman and a medium-pace bowler who played first-class cricket for Canterbury from 1940–41 to 1954–55.[1] He had a good Plunket Shield season in 1946–47, making 86 against Otago and 85 against Auckland and taking 6 for 99 against Wellington in the three matches.[2]
His single Test came at the end of that season when New Zealand played one Test against England led by Wally Hammond. The match was ruined by rain; Scott scored 18 batting at number eight and, opening the bowling with Jack Cowie, took one wicket, that of Bill Edrich.[3]
He was picked for the trial match for the 1949 New Zealand tour of England but, despite top-scoring in the New Zealand XI's second innings and taking four wickets,[4] he was not picked for the tour, and retired after the match, re-emerging for one more first-class match in 1953-54 and a final one in 1954–55.
