William McDougall "Mac" Anderson (8 October 1919 – 21 December 1979) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in one Test match in 1946. His son Robert Anderson played international cricket for New Zealand in the 1970s.

Cricket career

Anderson was educated at Christchurch Boys' High School.[1] He played for Canterbury from 1938–39 to 1949–50 as a batsman and occasional leg-spinner.[2]

He made his highest score in 1945–46, when he scored 137 in 396 minutes opening the batting for Canterbury against Otago.[3] He made 61 for Canterbury against the Australians shortly afterwards,[4] and was selected for the single Test against Australia in Wellington. He was one of six New Zealanders to make their Test debuts in this match; for five of them, including Anderson, it was their only Test. He made 4 and 1.[5]

Anderson made 285 runs at 71.25 in the 1948–49 Plunket Shield with three 50s, and played in the trial match, but was not selected for the subsequent tour to England. Anderson later served as a selector for Canterbury and, for two years, for the New Zealand Test team.[6]

Anderson married Ruth Wickham in Christchurch in April 1947.[7] They lived in Christchurch, where he worked as a salesman.[8] He died in December 1979, aged 60.[6]
