Ernest Holt

Ernest Gerald Holt (2 July 1904 – 27 August 1970) played first-class cricket for Somerset in two matches in the 1930 season.[1] He was born in Burnham-on-Sea, Somerset and died at Brent Knoll, also in Somerset.

In a short first-class cricket career, Holt was a lower-order right-handed batsman. He made 8 and 4 in his first match, against Surrey in May 1930.[2] But he failed to score in his only other match, the game against Cambridge University the following month.[3] In August 1933, he was a member of a Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) side that toured the Netherlands and played two two-day matches against "a Dutch XI" and the Dutch national side; Holt batted in the middle order in both matches and in the game against the national side he scored 35 in the second innings and was part of a stand that put on 88 after MCC had been forced to follow on, though the match was still lost.[4]
