Alfred Leonard Nelson (13 November 1871 - 2 May 1927) was an English cricketer. Nelson was a right-handed batsman who occasionally fielded as a wicket-keeper. He was born at Kenilworth, Warwickshire, and was educated at Radley College and Merton College, Oxford.[1]
Nelson made a single first-class appearance for Warwickshire against Lancashire in the 1895 County Championship at Aigburth, Liverpool.[2] Warwickshire won the toss and elected to bat first, making 207 all out, during which Nelson was dismissed for a duck by Albert Hallam. Lancashire responded in their first-innings by making 138 all out, to which Warwickshire responded to in their second-innings by making 222 all out, during which Nelson was again dismissed for a duck, this time by Arthur Mold. Lancashire were set a target of 292 for victory, but were dismissed for 175 in their second-innings chase.[3]
He died at Holly Green, Worcestershire, on 2 May 1927. His brother Guy Nelson played first-class cricket.
