Arthur, batting at three in each innings, made only 0 and 3 and claimed a single catch, to dismiss [Maurice Luckin](/source/Maurice_Luckin).[3] His highest score that season was 34,[4] made against [Eastern Province](/source/Eastern_Province_cricket_team) in what proved to be his last appearance for eight years.[2] ## After the First World War In 1919 Jewell finally played first-class cricket again, when he opened the batting for Worcestershire against [HK Foster](/source/Henry_Foster_(cricketer))'s XI at [Hereford](/source/Racecourse_Ground,_Hereford), making 3 and 46;[5] two days later he scored 19 and 0 *for* Foster's side in a friendly game against the [Australian Imperial Forces](/source/Australian_Imperial_Forces_cricket_team).[6] Against [Somerset](/source/Somerset_County_Cricket_Club) five days later still, he kept wicket for the first time, in place of [Ernest Bale](/source/Ernest_Bale).[7] In August of that year Jewell made the first (and highest) of his three centuries, hitting 128 for Worcestershire in another match against Foster's team.[8][9] 1920 saw Jewell score another two hundreds, and enjoy his most successful summer behind the stumps with 21 victims, 13 of them caught and eight stumped.[2] The Worcestershire side that year was captained by Arthur's brother [Maurice](/source/Maurice_Jewell). That season Arthur was also chosen for a [Gentlemen v Players](/source/Gentlemen_v_Players) game at [The Oval](/source/The_Oval), in which he opened the batting for the Gentlemen as well as keeping wicket; he made 3 and 0 and held a single catch (to dismiss [Patsy Hendren](/source/Patsy_Hendren)) in an innings defeat.[10] For Worcestershire he played on until the end of the season, his final appearance coming in late August against [Lancashire](/source/Lancashire_County_Cricket_Club) and his last dismissal, in that match, being that of Lancashire captain and former [England](/source/English_cricket_team) [Test](/source/Test_cricket) player [Jack Sharp](/source/Jack_Sharp).[11] Jewell played no more first-class cricket, and he died aged only 34 after a long illness.[1] ## Relations Three of Jewell's relatives played first-class cricket. Two brothers, John and Maurice, have already been mentioned in the text; the other was his nephew, also named [John Jewell](/source/John_Jewell_(Worcestershire_cricketer)), who played twice for Worcestershire in 1939. ## References 1.
