Thomas Barker (Yorkshire cricketer)
- Thomas Barker (Yorkshire cricketer)
Thomas Rawson Barker (born 9 April 1812 at Bakewell, Derbyshire; died 26 April 1873 at Sheffield) was a first-class cricketer whose career spanned the 1833 to 1849 seasons. Barker was an amateur player who appeared in only nine matches due to his business commitments. He played for Sheffield Cricket Club and other Yorkshire teams.
Barker was a right-handed batsman and a left round-arm medium pace bowler. He appeared in what is regarded as the inaugural Yorkshire first-class match at the Hyde Park Ground in Sheffield in 1833 against Norfolk, although at this time Yorkshire was still the Sheffield Club.
A lead merchant in Sheffield, Barker served as mayor of the city and, when the Yorkshire County Cricket Club was formed in 1863, he became its first President.
He played in 9 first class matches from 1833 to 1849, scoring 121 runs at 11 with a top score of 37 and taking 38 wickets at an estimated 7.93 with a best of 5 for 11.
