Henry Morley (cricketer)

Henry Morley ( 2 March, 1785 - 6 December, 1857) was an English cricketer who played for Sussex County from 1815 to 1838, and also played one match for Kent and Sussex in 1836.

A builder by trade, he was a team-mate of William Lillywhite and Jem Broadbridge, and was a member of the Sussex team which played during the 1827 Roundarm Trial Matches against England.

Henry, a right-handed batsman, played in just 30 first class matches, and scored 285 Runs during 57 Innings, with a batting average of 5.18. By no means an exceptional player, his highest score of 18 runs came during his last match for the team against Kent at the Old County Ground, Town Malling on 19 July, 1838. He was caught out by Alfred Mynn, the fourth greatest cricketer of all time according to the cricket writer John Woodcock
