Basil Jordain Ward (6 August 1889 – 29 March 1972) was an Irish first-class cricketer.
Ward was born at Dublin in August 1889, where he was educated at Mountjoy School. [1] After finishing his schooling, he went up to Trinity College, Dublin in 1908, where he played club cricket for Dublin University. [1] He did not appear regularly for the university until 1912, but did represent Leinster alongside. [1] Ward made his debut in first-class cricket for Ireland against Scotland at Dublin in 1912. [2] He played in the same fixture in 1913 at Edinburgh, and in 1914 at Dublin. [2] Ward served in the British Army during World War I, enlisting in August 1915 as a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery. [3] Surviving the war, he returned to playing club cricket for Dublin University. [1] He made a final first-class appearance for Ireland against Scotland at Edinburgh in 1920, [2] a year in which he also played minor matches against Cambridge University and Derbyshire at College Park, Dublin. [4] Ward played in a total of four first-class matches, scoring 56 runs with a highest score of 17. [5] However, it is a fast-medium bowler that is better remembered, where alongside an impressive club record, [1] Ward also took 13 first-class wickets, at an average of 21.00, with best innings figures of 4/66. [6] A schoolteacher by profession, he took up a teaching position in London soon after his final appearance for Ireland. [1] He died at Wandsworth Common in London in March 1972. [1]
