Wheatley (dates unknown) was an English amateur cricketer who played in major matches for London Cricket Club during the 1730s and was evidently a top order batsman. He was a distiller by trade.
Career
Wheatley played for London versus Surrey at Moulsey Hurst on Saturday, 7 June 1735, London winning the game by 9 wickets with Dunn and "Mr Wheatley, the distiller" the two not out batsmen at the end.[1]
As Wheatley had established his reputation by 1735, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1720s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Wheatley.
