Albert Evelyn Dewes (April 1860 – 5 July 1892) was a New Zealand cricketer of the 1880s, born in England.[1]
Dewes played two first-class matches for Auckland in 1882 and 1883.[2] In his second match he took five catches in the second innings, setting a New Zealand first-class record for dismissals in an innings that was not equalled until the 1903–04 season (by George Schmoll) and not beaten until 1964–65 (by Robin Schofield).[3]
Dewes had arrived in New Zealand from England in the early 1880s. He worked as a solicitor in Auckland. He died at his home in the Auckland suburb of Parnell of influenza and tuberculosis, aged 32, leaving a widow and four young daughters.[4]
