Arthur Mitchell (cricketer)

Arthur "Ticker" Mitchell (13 September 1902 – 25 December 1976) was an English first-class cricketer, who played both for Yorkshire County Cricket Club and England. Born in Baildon, Yorkshire, and nicknamed "Ticker" because of a habit of chatting to himself while batting, Mitchell was a solid, determined and sometimes dour middle order batsman who converted to become an opening batsman after the retirement of Percy Holmes in 1932. An accumulator of runs rather than a stroke maker, he very occasionally allowed himself to bat more freely, and when he did he revealed himself as a particularly fine cutter. He scored centuries in four consecutive innings for Yorkshire in 1933.
