Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Walter Sydney Whiting (23 October 1888 - 15 January 1952) was an English cricketer born in Bath, Somerset. He played first-class cricket for Somerset in four matches in the 1921 season and a further four in the 1923 season. He was born in Bath, Somerset and died there as well. Whiting was an amateur right-handed batsman and leg-break bowler. In his eight matches for Somerset he batted in both the middle order and at the tail-end; as a bowler, he took at least one wicket in every opposition innings in the games he played. In his first game against Middlesex, he shared the first innings wickets with Jack White and then took the only two wickets to fall in the second innings. His figures of four for 28 remained the best of his first-class career, and his second innings of 28, when he top-scored for Somerset, was also his highest first-class score.
