Jack Small
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
John (Jack) Small junior (born 1765 at Petersfield, Hampshire; died 21 January 1836 at Hambledon) was an English cricketer who played for the Hambledon Club.
Jack Small made his debut in 1784, his career continuing until 1811. He was noted as "a sound batsman" but should not be compared with his father John Small senior, who was still playing when Jack started.
Jack Small had over 100 recorded appearances by the end of the 1800 season. His two highest recorded scores were 95 for R Leigh’s XI v Sir Horatio Mann’s XI at Margate in 1795 and 88 for Lord Yarmouth’s XI v R Whitehead’s XI at Lord’s in 1799.
He and John Nyren were close friends and Nyren always refers to Small junior as Jack Small.
