EH Budd
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 was disrupted by the Napoleonic War, especially during the 1811 to 1815 seasons. He is first recorded by Scores & Biographies in the 1802 season, in an "odds" match; and by CricketArchive in the 1803 season, in a match that is not universally regarded as first-class. He played for All-England Eleven versus Marylebone Cricket Club in 1804 and then made sporadic appearances until 1808 when his career took off. He continued playing until 1831.
He was a member of MCC 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.
As with all cricketers in the first quarter of the 19th century, his full career details are uncertain but CricketArchive credits him with 73 known first-class appearances and 2,728 runs at a good average (for the time) of 23.51, with a highest score of 105. In the field he is credited with 173 wickets, 51 catches and 27 stumpings.
