Some Famous People called Anthony Short
Anthony Short
Anthony Warren Short (born 2 January 1953) is a former New Zealand cricketer who played three first class cricket matches and a single one day match for Central Districts between 1978 and 1980. A right-handed batsman, he struggled at first-class level, scoring only 96 runs from five innings – largely in a career-best knock of 33. He did, however, enjoy greater success as an all-rounder in District Cricket's Hawke Cup for Wairarapa, and as a bowler for Central District's under-23 team. He was also a very occasional right-arm medium bowler, who sent down a tidy yet wicket-less 64 balls.
