Antao D'Souza Cricketer

Antao D'Souza is a former Pakistani cricketer who played in six Tests from 1959 to 1962. He was the fourth Christian to play Test cricket for Pakistan. He was a medium pace bowler and tail-end obdurate batsman. D'Souza toured England in 1962, heading the batting averages (53) as he remained not out in five of his six innings. Given a minimum of ten innings, D'Souza is one of only two Test cricketers, whose batting averages exceeded their highest score. The other was the Indian cricketer, Sadashiv Shinde. His bowling was as ineffective as everyone else on that tour, which Pakistan lost 0-4.
