Thomas Howard (cricketer)
Thomas Charles Howard (19 July 1781 in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire – 18 May 1864 in Hartley Row, Hartley Wintney, Hampshire) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1803 to 1828. He was mainly associated with Hampshire but also represented Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC), where he was employed as a ground staff bowler.
Howard was a right-handed batsman (RHB) and an occasional wicketkeeper but he was noted as a right arm fast medium bowler (RFM), using the underarm style. He made 88 known appearances in first-class cricket and is one of a handful of players who appeared for both teams in the Gentlemen v Players series.
Howard played for the Players in the inaugural and second Gentlemen v Players matches in 1806[1][2] and made further appearances for the Players to 1829. He also played for the Gentlemen as a given man in 1820, when his involvement in nine dismissals was a factor in their 70 run victory.[3]
