The son of George Edward Bowring, he was born at Long Ditton in November 1887.[1] He attended the prepratory school of The Reverend Henry Tindall near Hastings, where he learnt to play cricket.[2] From there he proceeded to Rugby School,[1] before going up to Exeter College, Oxford.[2] While studying at Oxford, Bowring played first-class cricket for Oxford University, making his debut against Lancashire at Oxford in 1907. He played first-class cricket for Oxford until 1908, making a further sixteen appearances.[3] He scored 772 runs in his seventeen first-class appearances, averaging 24.06.[4] He had one innings of note, when he scored 228 against the Gentlemen of England in 1907, which included thirty fours and a single six and contributed toward an opening stand of 338 with Hugh Teesdale.[2] With his slow bowling, Bowring took 20 wickets at a bowling average of 26.75 and best figures of 3 for 10.[5] A cricketer of great promise, he would have undoubtedly featured for Oxford in the 1909 season, had it not been for his death from blood poisoning in August 1908.[2] His cousin was the cricketer Wilfred Stoddart.[2]
