John Arneil (1862 – 11 August 1938) was a New Zealand cricketer who played nine first-class matches for the Auckland between 1882 and 1894.[1]
He was also a rugby union player and administrator. He had the rare distinction of captaining Auckland teams at both rugby and cricket.[2] He was a prolific batsman in Auckland club and representative cricket despite being unable to practise owing to his hours of work.[3] In 1883-84 he made 59 not out, the top score of the match and of his first-class career, when Auckland chased a target of 152 in the second innings and he steered them to a four-wicket victory over Canterbury.[4]
He married Emily Caradus in 1891. They had three sons and a daughter.[2]
