About Dick Howorth
- Dick Howorth (26 April 1909 – 2 April 1980) was an English all-rounder for Worcestershire between 1933 and 1951.
- Chiefly remembered as a left-arm spin bowler, Howorth also occasionally bowled medium pace and was a capable hard-hitting left-handed batsman.
- Ideally he would bat in the middle of the order, but so weak was Worcestershire's batting for much of his career that Howorth would often play as an aggressive opener, and it was in this role that he hit his two highest first-class scores – curiously both being 114.
- Howorth was also a dependable close-to-the-wicket fielder but would field with skill further out if needed.As well as becoming one of the oldest English players to make his England debut at 38 years 112 days, Howorth took a wicket with his first ball in Test cricket, only the fifth Englishman to do so.
