About Derek Varnals

  • George Derek Varnals (born 24 July 1935 in Durban, Natal) is a former South African cricketer who played in three Tests in the 1964-65 season. Varnals was a right-handed batsman who had a 10-year career in South African domestic first-class cricket, playing for Eastern Province, Transvaal and Natal.
  • Apart from the 1957-58 season, when he made his highest score and averaged more than 50 runs per innings, his record was relatively modest until the 1964-65 season. Then three centuries, including one for Natal against the MCC touring side, propelled him into the South African cricket team for the first three Tests.
  • He batted a long way down the order and, although he showed useful adhesion in helping to avert defeat in the second match, his highest score in six innings was only 23.
  • When he was dropped after the third match, he retired from first-class cricket. His only first-class bowling was in the final overs of his final Test match.
