Gerald Edward Livock (born 11 July 1897 in Newmarket, Suffolk, England; died 27 January 1989 in Blandford Forum, Dorset) was an English cricketer, aviator and archaeologist.^[1] A right-handed batsman and wicket-keeper, he played first-class cricket for various teams between 1923 and 1934.^[2]

[edit] Cricket career

After playing some Minor Counties Championship matches for Cambridgeshire in 1921,^[3] Livock made his first-class debut for Lord Cowdray's XI against the Rest of England in 1923.^[4] In 1924 he played for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States, also playing for the combined Malaya cricket team in matches against Shanghai and Hong Kong.^[5]

Returning to English cricket, he played three County Championship matches for Middlesex in 1925, also playing in that season's Gentlemen v Players match. He next played for Middlesex in 1927,^[4] his top-level cricket career being restricted by his RAF career,^[1] when he played against Warwickshire and New Zealand. He also played a first-class match for the RAF against the Royal Navy that season.^[4]

Following a second match for the Straits Settlements against the Federated Malay States in 1930,^[5] he played three more first-class matches; for the RAF against the Army in 1932, for the MCC against Yorkshire in 1933 and for the Gentlemen of England against Australia in 1934.^[4] He also played cricket in Egypt that year.^[1]
