From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Hayward (EH) Budd (born 23 February 1786 at Great Missenden, Buckinghamshire; died 29 March 1875 at Wroughton, Wiltshire was a noted English cricketer. He was a prominent right-handed batsman and an occasional medium pace lob bowler. He was a good fielder who played in some matches as a wicketkeeper.

Budd's first-class career began in the 1803 English cricket season but it was interrupted by the Napoleonic War, especially during the 1811 to 1815 seasons. Budd played until 1831.

He was a member of Marylebone Cricket Club and that was his main team, though he also played for All-England and for various occasional elevens, including his own. He rarely played for any county teams and then only as a given man.

He made 73 known first-class appearances and scored 2,728 runs with a highest score of 105. He took 173 wickets, 51 catches and 27 stumpings.
