Edward Goatly

Edward Garnett Goatly (3 December 1882 – 12 February 1958) was an English cricketer. He played 126 first-class matches for Surrey between 1901 and 1914. Goatly was a middle-order right-handed batter and an occasional left-arm spin bowler.

Goatly's obituary in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack indicates why, with a 14-season first-class cricket career, he was only occasionally a regular in Surrey's first team: "A very sound if unattractive batsman," it stated, "he was too slow in the field to command a regular place." He nevertheless played in 23 matches in the 1913 season, making 884 runs at an average of 23.26, and in 22 matches in 1911 he scored just one run fewer, 883, but with an average of 30.44 runs per innings.
