Excerpt: Michael Colin Cowdrey, Baron Cowdrey of Tonbridge, Kt., CBE (24 December 1932 - 4 December 2000) was an English cricketer and later cricket administrator, who was posthumously inducted into the ICC Cricket Hall of Fame on 24 June 2009. Colin Cowdrey was born in Bangalore, India. His father named him Michael Colin Cowdrey, to give him the same initials as cricket's most famous club the Marylebone Cricket Club. He was educated at the Bishop Cotton Boys' School, Bangalore, Homefield Preparatory School, Sutton, Tonbridge School and Brasenose College, Oxford, which he left without taking a degree.
