Sir Arthur Sims Trophy for Bowling

Another English-born New Zealander, Sims played in NZ teams before they were granted test status and his first-class career included a high score of 184.  Another who was an important driver of the club’s founding, his Wisden obituary mentions LNZCC:  “Sir Arthur Sims, who died at East Hoathly, Sussex, on April 27, aged 91, shared with Victor Trumper against Canterbury at Christchurch in 1913-14 an eighth-wicket partnership of 433 which still stands as a world's record in first-class cricket. Playing for an Australian team which he got together and took on a New Zealand tour, Sims took out his bat for 184 and Trumper scored 293, the second highest innings of his career. Of Lincolnshire birth, Sims was taken to New Zealand when three years old. Returning to England to start a meat-importing business, he frequently turned out for Dr. W.G.Grace's team and upon his last appearance made 127 not out. For many years New Zealand representative at the Imperial Cricket Conference, he was a life member of the M.C.C. and patron of the London New Zealand C.C. He was a celebrated philanthropist.”
