William Henry Noel Ferguson (6 December 1927 in Downpatrick, County Down – 31 October 2007 [1]) usually known as Noel Ferguson, was an Irish cricketer.
A left-handed batsman and right-arm medium-pace bowler,[1] he made his debut for the Ireland cricket team in June 1951 against Scotland[2] in a first-class match.[3] He did not play for the Irish team again until June 1962 (a gap of exactly eleven years),[2] when he returned to the side for another first-class game against the Combined Services cricket team.[3] He remained in the team for the next two years, playing ten matches in all, his last match coming against the MCC in September 1964.[2]
Of his matches for Ireland, five had first-class status.[3] In all matches for Ireland, he scored 180 runs at an average of 12.86 with a top score of 37 against Scotland in July 1963. He took 27 wickets at an average of 21.15, with best bowling of 6/37 against Scotland in July 1962.[2]
