E. W. Bastard
Encyclopedia : E : EW : EWB : E. W. Bastard
Edward William Bastard (born Wilton, Somerset, 28 February 1862; died Taunton, Somerset, 2 April 1901) was a cricketer who played for Oxford University and Somerset. Bastard batted left-handed, but is notable as a fine slow left-arm orthodox bowler. He played 37 first-class cricket games between 1882 and 1885 and was good enough to be selected for the Gentlemen against the Players in his last game.
Bastard played for Somerset in the years just as they settled down in the Taunton ground.
