description: "Lionel Charles Hamilton Palairet was an English amateur cricketer who played for Somerset and Oxford University. A graceful right-handed batsman, he was selected to play Test cricket for England twice in 1902. Contemporaries judged Palairet to have one of the most attractive batting styles of the period. His obituary in The Times described him as \"the most beautiful batsman of all time\". An unwillingness to tour during the English winter limited Palairet's Test appearances; contemporaries believed he deserved more Test caps."
