Thomas Clarke (cricketer)

Thomas Clarke was an English first-class cricketer who played for Hampshire in the late 19th century. He was primarily a right-handed batsman and an occasional right-arm medium-pace bowler. Little is definitively known about Clarke's early life or career before his appearances for Hampshire. He played in a limited number of first-class matches, typically scoring modest totals and rarely bowling. Records indicate he was active between 1885 and 1888. Specific details regarding his batting averages, bowling statistics, and notable achievements are scarce, reflecting the limitations in records from that era of cricket history. His career was not particularly distinguished, and he is considered a minor figure in the history of Hampshire County Cricket Club. More in-depth information is difficult to obtain due to the age and limited documentation of his career.
