Harold Noel Dellow (14 February 1929 – 1 September 2021) was a New Zealand cricketer who played five matches of first-class cricket for Canterbury between early 1955 and early 1956.

Life and career

Born in Ashburton, Noel Dellow was a medium-pace bowler. His best first-class batting and bowling performances came in the first innings of the Plunket Shield match against Auckland in 1955–56, when he took 3 for 84 opening the bowling and then scored 15 not out at number 11.[1]

Dellow spent most of his life in South Canterbury. Playing for a South Island Minor Associations XI against the touring Australian team in 1959–60, he took 5 for 63 off 30 overs, although he was unable to prevent an innings defeat.[2] He later served as executive director of the South Canterbury Cricket Association and was awarded life membership of the association.[3] [4]

Dellow worked as a chartered accountant in Timaru.[5] He lived in retirement in Timaru,[6] and died there on 1 September 2021.[7]
