William Kendall (cricketer)


William Salwey Kendall is an English former cricketer who played over 200 games for Hampshire around the turn of the 21st century, having earlier appeared on a number of occasions for Oxford University.
Kendall's highest first-class score of 201 was achieved against Sussex in 1999 under somewhat unusual circumstances. Replying to Sussex's first innings of 375, Hampshire were bowled out for just 76 and asked to follow on. However, second time around Hampshire piled on the runs, eventually declaring at 570/6; Kendall's 201 had taken slightly more than eight hours.
Kendall was capped by Hampshire in 1999, and named Hampshire Cricket Society's Player of the Year in 2000.
