Henry Sugden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henry Sugden (July 16, 1859 — September 4, 1935) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who played for Derbyshire during the 1882 season. Sugden was born in Southgate, London and died in Chilworth, Hampshire.

Sugden made his debut against a team of touring Australians in June 1882, in a team consisting of eleven past and future Australia Test cricketers, including Frederick Spofforth and Alec Bannerman. Australia won the match by an innings margin, while Sugden made little impression from the opening order, being bowled in the first innings and being out hit wicket off the bowling of Harry Boyle in the second.

Sugden made just one further first-class appearance, against Lancashire two weeks later, scoring a duck in his first innings and dropping down the order in the second, when all but one player finished the innings in single figures, team-mate Edmund Maynard contributing just short of fifty percent of the total score for the team, the same having happened in the first innings when Derbyshire finished with 77 runs while top run scorer Thomas Foster contributed 52 runs to this total.
