About Philip Bromley
- Philip Harry Bromley (30 July 1930 – 21 February 2007) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Warwickshire between 1947 and 1956.
- He was born in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire and died at Warwick. A right-handed lower-middle-order batsman, right-arm off-break bowler and a very occasional wicketkeeper, Bromley made his first-class debut on his 17th birthday in 1947 against Scotland and was 12 not out at the close of play, though he had failed to take a wicket when Scotland batted.
- He did not add to his score the following day, and then played only occasional matches for the first team, through to 1951, though he was a regular in the second eleven which competed in the Minor Counties competition from 1949.From 1952 to 1954 he played in around half of Warwickshire's matches, though with a few exceptions he had limited impact with both bat and ball.
- Against Essex in 1952, he scored an unbeaten 121, but it was his only century and in the 1952 season as a whole his batting average was just 21.88.
- In the 1953 game with Worcestershire, he took five second innings wickets for 61 runs, his only return of five wickets in an innings; but in the very next match he was upstaged by the part-time off-breaks of Bert Wolton and was dropped from the team.Bromley left regular cricket after the 1954 season, although he returned, without success, for a single match in 1956.
- He continued to play intermittently for Warwickshire's second team in the Minor Counties Championship and the Second Eleven Championship through to 1968.
