Keith Ollivier

Keith Morton Ollivier (2 August 1880 – 12 September 1951) was a cricketer who played first-class cricket for Canterbury from 1901 to 1912 and played twice for New Zealand in the days before New Zealand played Test cricket.
Personal life.
Ollivier's middle name was the maiden name of his grandmother, Elizabeth Morton. His grandfather was John Ollivier, a politician and local Christchurch identity. His father was Arthur Ollivier, a noted Christchurch businessman, cricketer and mountaineer. 
Keith Ollivier worked for the Bank of New Zealand. In Wellington, in 1912, he married Hilda von Dadelszen, daughter of the New Zealand public administrator Edward John von Dadelszen. They had one son. She died in 1937; Keith died in 1951.
Cricket career.
Ollivier was the leading New Zealand batsman in the 1903–04 first-class season, with 306 runs in four matches at an average of 51.00. His 83 batting at number five in Canterbury’s 244-run victory over Wellington was the equal-highest first-class score for the season. He was chosen in the inaugural match between North Island and South Island at the end of the season and, opening the batting for South Island, impressed observers by scoring 48 and 22 in South Island’s two-wicket victory.
When Australia toured New Zealand in 1904–05, Ollivier was the only New Zealander to perform well in the two-match series between the two sides. In the first match, he took 5 for 113 with his leg-breaks in Australia’s only innings, and top-scored in each innings for New Zealand with 39 and 32 not out to help New Zealand hold on for a draw. He was less effective in the second match, which Australia won by an innings and 358 runs, although his 16 was equal-top score in the first innings.
In later seasons he was more effective as a bowler. In Canterbury’s victory over Wellington in 1906–07, playing in place of the unavailable Sydney Callaway, he opened the bowling with Joseph Bennett and took 6 for 43 and 5 for 66 with his leg-spin, varying his pace cleverly. Earlier in the season he had made 78, the top score in the match, and taken three wickets, when Canterbury defeated the touring MCC team. It was these two victories that led to Canterbury being awarded the inaugural Plunket Shield at the end of the season.
