John Dicker

John Dicker (30 March 1815 – 30 March 1895) was an English cricketer who played for Kent.

Dicker was born in Cudham in Kent in 1815, the son of William and Sophia Dicker. His father was a miller at Hever.[1] Dicker himself worked as a carpenter, wood turner and as a cricket bat maker, initially at Hever and then at Edenbridge.[1][2]

Dicker played for a variety of local cricket teams, including for Westerham and Penshurst.[2] He was one of the first players to employ roundarm bowling regularly.[1] He played in three important matches, two for Kent in 1840 and one in 1844 in a Married v Single game.[3] This was a benefit match for the players involved in it.[2]

Dicker married Susannah Dicker from Sussex in 1842. He died at Westerham in 1895 on his eightieth birthday.[1][2]
