Albert "Bertie" William Powell (18 July 1873 – 11 September 1948) was a South African sportsman who played both international cricket and rugby union for South Africa.[1]
Powell was born in Kimberley, Cape Colony, in 1873. An all-rounder with safe hands in the field, he played sporadically for Griqualand West from 1892/93 to 1904/05. When Lord Hawke brought the English team to South Africa in 1898/99, Powell was selected for the second Test, played at Cape Town. England won the match comprehensively by 210 runs, despite a first innings deficit of 85, and Powell's score of 11 was South Africa's highest in their second innings total of 35.[2]
In 1896, Powell played at centre for the South Africa national rugby union team in the third Test of the British Isles tour of South Africa.[3] This was his only international rugby match.
Powell's brother Jackie captained South Africa at rugby and also played first-class cricket for Griqualand West.[4]
