- Buster_Farrer abstract "William Stephen 'Buster' Farrer (born 8 December 1936 in King William's Town, Cape Province) is a former South African cricketer who played in six Tests from 1962 to 1964.He represented the provincial team Border in the Currie Cup, usually in the B Section of the competition. He made his debut against North-Eastern Transvaal in the 1954–55 season a few days after his 18th birthday, scoring 77. After seven more matches in two seasons without reaching 50, he decided to concentrate on his tennis career.He played in the men's singles at the 1956 Wimbledon Championships. He beat Dick Potter (Australia) in straight sets in the first round, but lost in straight sets to Steffan Stockenberg (Sweden) in the second round after a 10–12 third set.He returned to cricket in 1960–61, scoring 499 runs in six matches at an average of 55.44, with five 50s. The next season he was appointed captain of Border, and after one match he was selected for South Africa in the Third Test against New Zealand in Cape Town. Batting at number three he made only 11 and 20, but two weeks later, captaining a South African Colts XI against the New Zealanders on his home ground of East London, he hit 147 not out in the first innings, his first first-class century. He kept his place in the Test side and made 40 in the Fourth Test, and 7 and 10 in the Fifth.He scored prolifically in 1962–63, 888 runs at 63.42; in two matches against Orange Free State he hit 91 and 100 not out at Welkom and 107 not out at East London. He was selected to tour Australasia in 1963–64, and acted as one of the team selectors on tour. He scored only 185 runs at 20.55 in the first five matches, and despite a score of 107 against the Tasmania Combined XI in Hobart he was unable to make the Test team on the Australian leg of the tour. His form improved when the team arrived in New Zealand, where he scored 144 and 52 in the two two-day matches before the First Test. He played in all three Tests in New Zealand, scoring 30 and 38 not out in Wellington, 39 in Dunedin, and 21 and 5 not out in Auckland.He scored 66 and 10 when he led Border against MCC in 1964–65, but was not selected for any trial matches or Tests, or for the tour to England that followed in 1965. In 1965–66 he set the record for the highest score for Border with 207 (in 272 minutes out of a team total of 361) against Orange Free State. He scored 95 and 50 for Border against the Australians in 1966–67.He relinquished the Border captaincy in 1967–68 and continued to score prolifically: 459 runs at 57.37 in 1967–68, 521 at 65.12 in 1968–69 (when he broke his own record by scoring 211 against Eastern Province, out of a team total of 355), and 539 at 67.37 in his last season, 1969–70. Against the touring Australian team in 1969–70 he hit 154 and 42. Wisden said his 154 \"was only slightly inferior to the masterly Test centuries by Graeme Pollock and Richards at Durban a few days previously [in the Second Test] but ironically the nearest selector was hundreds of miles away\". He retired at the end of the season, so it turned out to be his last match.Farrer also played for the South African national team in hockey in the 1970s, and played squash and golf for Border.His father opened a sporting goods shop in King William's Town, which Buster ran for many years. It is now run by Buster's son Colin.All-Rounder: The Buster Farrer Story, by the South African journalist Colin Bryden, was published in 2013.".
