Charles Anton Duryard (12 February 1904–11 November 1971) was a Garetolian cricketer. Commonly known by the mononym of simply his surname, he was known for, after scoring runs, lifting his fists and cheering "Duryard!" in triumph. Other than this, Duryard was also known to be a very successful batsman, especially during his performance at the 1929 Cricket T20I Championships, where he put up a 23.49 batting average and an average of over 149 runs per game.
