Douglas Archibald Cameron (21 March 1903 – 10 January 1996) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Wellington in the 1930s and had a long career in the Hawke Cup for Rangitikei and Wanganui from 1921 to 1953.[1] He was a farmer.[2]
Cameron's family lived on the estate "Glenmore" in the Turakina Valley. He attended Wanganui Collegiate School from 1917 to 1921 before taking up farming.[3] He married Sylvia Cousins in Feilding in April 1937.[4]
Cameron was an opening batsman. He made his highest first-class score in the Plunket Shield in January 1931 when he opened the batting with Stewie Dempster against Auckland, and was Wellington's top-scorer, with 71 and 12.[5] He was instrumental in Rangitikei's only two successful challenges for the Hawke Cup: he scored 129 and 47 when Rangitikei beat Wairarapa in December 1921,[6] and 12 and 160 (batting at number three) in the victory over Manawatu in March 1930.[7]
