Herbert George Baldwin was a cricketer and test match umpire.[1] 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 McCormick lost his run.[2]
Baldwin was the son of Hampshire cricketer Harry Baldwin who represented Hampshire between 1877 and 1905. Herbert, like his son also stood as a first-class umpire.
