Andrew Ronald MacKenzie "Nobbie" Ralph (26 April 1908 – 6 June 1992) was a South African cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1931 to 1946, mostly for Western Province.[1]
Ralph was one of the leading batsmen in the Currie Cup in 1936–37, with 517 runs in six matches at an average of 86.16.[2] His highest first-class score was 142 against Border in December 1934, when he opened the batting and made the only century in the match, which Western Province won by an innings.[3] He captained Western Province several times, taking over in 1939–40 when Pieter van der Bijl went off to fight in World War II.[4]
Ralph served as convenor of the national cricket selectors in the 1950s.[5]
