Gilbert Parkhouse, Welsh cricketer and rugby player (b. 1925)
William Gilbert Anthony Parkhouse (12 October 1925 – 10 August 2000) was a Welsh cricketer who played in seven Tests for England in 1950, 1950–51 and 1959.
Parkhouse was a right-handed batsman who spent most of his career as an opener for Glamorgan. He also played rugby union for Swansea.As a cricketer, he was a fast scorer and a stroke-maker. His obituary in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack said: "There were no obvious flaws in technique: he was orthodox, and happy to get on the back foot against both the quicks – he was a skilled hooker – and the slows... It was his effortless cover driving... that is best remembered... and he could on-drive beautifully."
