Thomas Lloyd (cricketer)

Captain Thomas Lloyd (details of birth and death unknown) was an English cricketer who played in one first-class cricket match for Berkshire in 1792.

Career

Lloyd played for Berkshire against Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) at Old Field, Bray from 2 to 4 August 1792. He made scores of 1 not out and 9 in the match, which Berkshire won by 10 runs.[1][2]

It is likely that Lloyd took part as a substitute fielder in the match between Essex and MCC at Langton Park on 6 and 7 August 1789.[3] The scorecard refers to a Captain Lloyd who fielded for MCC and held two catches. Essex, whose name may properly have been Hornchurch Cricket Club, won by 6 wickets.[4]
