A tail-end batsman and wicketkeeper, Amor played exactly half of his 26 first-class matches for Somerset in games at Bath, and his first-class career never took him further north than Worcester, though that visit brought him his highest first-class score of 21.[1][2]
Primarily, Amor was a club cricketer, acting as captain and wicketkeeper for Bath Cricket Club from 1914 to 1950, and president and chairman after that.[3] That he might have made the grade at a higher level of cricket is suggested by the fact that, in the 1922 and 1923 seasons, he figured in late-season festival cricket at Eastbourne and Hastings, playing for South v North, for the Royal Air Force (Ex-Service) side against the Rest of England, and for The Rest against Lord Cowdray's XI, alongside notable cricketing names such as Jack Hobbs, Frank Woolley, Percy Fender and the Gilligans.[4][5][6]
