C. D. B. Marsham

The Rev. Cloudesley Dewar Bullock Marsham (30 January 1835 – 23 March 1915) was an English cricketer, primarily playing for Oxford University.

In 34 first-class matches, Marsham scored 602 runs at an average of 11.57, and took 180 wickets with his medium-fast roundarm deliveries.[1] In his obituary, Wisden described him as "in his day, the best amateur bowler in England".[2]

His son, C. H. B. Marsham, also played first-class cricket and was captain of Kent from 1904 to 1908.
