Lionel Charles Hamilton
Palairet (27th May 1870 – 27th March 1933) was
an English amateur cricketer who played 267 first-class matches for Oxford
University (1890-93) and Somerset (1890-1909). A graceful right-handed
batsman, he was selected to play Test cricket for England twice in 1902.
His highest score, 292 runs against Hampshire in 1895, remained a record
for a Somerset batsman until 1948. His only Test matches were the fourth and
fifth Tests against Australia in 1902: Australia won the fourth Test by three
runs, and England won the fifth Test by one wicket. Contemporaries judged
Palairet to have one of the most attractive batting styles of the period. His
obituary in The Times described him as "the most
beautiful batsman of all time".
