'''Sivert Vause Samuelson''' (21 November 1883 – 18 November 1958) was a South African [cricket](/source/cricket)er who played in one [Test match](/source/Test_cricket) in 1910.
Samuelson was an off-spin bowler and tail-end right-handed batsman for [Natal](/source/KwaZulu-Natal_cricket_team) who took five [MCC](/source/English_cricket_team_in_South_Africa_in_1909%E2%80%9310) wickets in an innings in his third [first-class](/source/first-class_cricket) game[{{cite web |title=Natal v MCC 1909-10 |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/8/8054.html |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=1 April 2025}}] and found himself in the Test team for the final match in the 1909–10 series, played at [Newlands](/source/Newlands_Cricket_Ground), [Cape Town](/source/Cape_Town). He failed to take a wicket as [England](/source/England_cricket_team) scored 417, with [Jack Hobbs](/source/Jack_Hobbs) making 187. He batted at No 11 in both innings.[{{cite web|title=South Africa v England, 1909-10 (Fifth Test)|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/8/8077.html|website=CricketArchive|accessdate=24 December 2017}}]
Samuelson played only one season of [Currie Cup](/source/SuperSport_Series) cricket for [Natal](/source/Natal_cricket_team), in 1910–11, taking 13 wickets in each of two matches and finishing with 41 wickets in the season at an average of less than 14 runs per wicket.[[Christopher Martin-Jenkins](/source/Christopher_Martin-Jenkins), ''The Complete Who's Who of Test Cricketers'', Rigby, Adelaide, 1983, p. 311.][{{cite web |title=Bowling in Currie Cup 1910/11 |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/3/Currie_Cup_1910-11/Bowling_by_Average.html |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=1 April 2025}}] But he then played only a couple more games the following season, and his only other first-class game was against [MCC](/source/English_cricket_team_in_South_Africa_in_1922%E2%80%9323) more than a decade later in 1922–23. His best bowling figures were 8 for 40 (followed by 5 for 107 in the second innings) in Natal's victory over [Orange Free State](/source/Free_State_cricket_team) in March 1911.[{{cite web |title=Natal v Orange Free State 1910-11 |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/8/8345.html |publisher=CricketArchive |access-date=1 April 2025}}]
In the [First World War](/source/First_World_War), Samuelson served as a lieutenant with the 1st Cape Corps in [German East Africa](/source/German_East_Africa). He was awarded the [Military Cross](/source/Military_Cross) for his bravery in action at Mkungu in November 1917.[{{cite web |title=The Cape Corps in Battle |url=http://www.kaiserscross.com/188001/378601.html |website=The Soldier's Burden |access-date=1 April 2025}}]
