    English Cricketer Ted Dillon
    English Cricketer Ted Dillon
    1913 Vanity Fair Cricket Print of Ted Dillon. Great grandson of Elizabeth Wooster of West Wycombe.
    ◦He was an English cricketer. He played first-class cricket predominantly for Kent County Cricket Club between 1900 and 1913, captaining the side from 1909 until his retirement. Educated at Rugby School, and later Oxford University, he was described as being "very free in style", and being a strong driver of the ball. He earned his cricket blue in his first year at Oxford, scoring 143 in the match against Cambridge. His performances for Kent were also useful, as he finished second in the batting averages to Jack Mason. He spent a large proportion of time in business however, somewhat restricting his first-class appearances. However, in a thirteen-year career he managed to amass in excess of 10,000 runs at an average of just over 28. He was a fine rugby player as well as cricketer. His rugby career brought him four international caps; two against Wales, one against Scotland and one against Ireland, in 1904 and 1905. He played as a three-quarter for his club side Blackheath.
