2. Walter Cornford, England – 5 ft
Walter Conford was an English cricketer who played the game when his country made a visit to New Zealand in 1930. He kept the wickets in the entire tourney and was part of 5 catches and 3 stumpings. Cornford used to play for the English County Sussex where he scored more than 6500 runs in 456 games with an average of 15 and it also included 16 half-centuries.
The keeper-batsman was nicknamed Tich because he barely touched 5 ft on the height scale. His county career started in 1921 but it was cut short when he was called for Second World War duties.
Unfortunately, he only played 4 international games and was able to score just 36 runs. Conford made one further appearance for his county at the age of 46 in 1947.
