Gordon Charles Burgess OBE (4 October 1918 – 3 September 2000) was a New Zealand cricket player and administrator.

Life and family

Born in Waihi on 4 October 1918, Burgess was the son of Edith Alice Burgess and Walter Neilson Burgess.[1] He was educated at Mount Albert Grammar School in Auckland, and worked for Auckland City Council as a clerk and valuer from 1935 to 1951.[1] In 1942, Burgess married June Frankham, and the couple went on to have three children, including Mark Burgess who played Test cricket for New Zealand.[1][2]

During World War II, Burgess served as a lieutenant in the New Zealand Army between 1942 and 1944.[1] He completed a Diploma of Urban Valuation at Auckland University College in 1948.[1] From 1951 until his retirement in 1983, Burgess worked in property management for the Auckland Harbour Board.[1]

Cricket

Playing career

Burgess played seven first-class matches as a batsman for Auckland between 1940 and 1954.[2] He scored 219 runs, at an average of 18.25, and with a highest score of 35 runs.[2]

Administration

Burgess was a member of the New Zealand Cricket Council from 1962 to 1971, and was its president from 1979 to 1981. He managed the New Zealand team that toured England, India and Pakistan in 1969. In Pakistan, the team he managed won the three-match Test series 1-0. This was New Zealand's first win in a Test series.[3]

In the 1989 New Year Honours, Burgess was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, for services to cricket.[4]

Death

Burgess died in Auckland on 3 September 2000,[2] and his body was cremated at Purewa Crematorium.[5]

Electrospray ionization

Technique used in mass spectroscopy Electrospray (nanoSpray) ionization source Electrospray ionization (ESI) is a technique used in mass spectrometry to produce ions using an electrospray in which a high voltage is applied to a liquid to create an aerosol. It is especially useful in producing ions from macromolecules because it overcomes the propensity of these molecules to fragment when ionized. ESI is different from other ionization processes (e.g. matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionizatio...
