Wisden obituary

BURN, EDMUND HOLROYD MILLER, who was killed, together with his wife, in a road accident at Grimsby Beach, Ontario, on October 22, aged 47, occupied a unique position in Canadian cricket affairs as player, coach, administrator, publisher and author. A fine batsman and useful change bowler, he was capped against the M.C.C. in 1951, represented Canada on tour in the United Kingdom in 1954 and appeared for both Manitoba and Ontario in Inter-Provincial competition, in addition captaining the Hamilton Cricket League side and the St. Catharines Cricket Club. He was Ontario Cricket Association Delegate to the Canadian Cricket Association Board of Control from 1956 to 1958, having served as Secretary of the Ontario Cricket Association between 1954 and 1956. He produced, edited and published The Canadian Cricketer, a monthly magazine dealing with all facets of cricket in Canada, from 1952 to 1965. Possessed of a remarkable flair for imparting cricket knowledge to the young, he was perhaps Canada's most successful coach during his period of service at Ridley College, St. Catherines where, between 1951 and 1969, he was a member of the Lower School teaching staff.
