About John Anton (cricketer)

  • John Hamish Hugh Anton (born 19 September 1926 in Kidderminster) is an English former cricketer who played 14 first-class games: ten for Cambridge University and four for Worcestershire. Anton went to Rugby School, being made captain of the cricket team in 1944. In 1949 he made his first-class debut with Cambridge, scoring 45 against Sussex, and he played nine times for them that season, although he did not gain his Blue.
  • He also appeared for the University team on one further occasion, in 1950, but his subsequent four first-class matches were with Worcestershire late in that same season.
  • Although his fielding was excellent, he was unable to make enough runs — his best score for the county was only 26 — and it was not altogether a surprise when he failed to reappear in 1951.
