Alexander Pitcairn (1750 – 17 November 1814) was an English cricketer who is known to have played in nine historically important matches in 1791 and 1792.[note 1]
Pitcairn was born in 1750, and educated at Harrow School. He made his known debut for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against Middlesex at Lord's Old Ground in May 1791.[2] After playing in two more matches that season, he played in six in 1792. Five of Pitcairn's nine matches were for MCC; he also played for Hampshire, the Gentlemen of England, the Gentlemen of Kent, and T. A. Smith's XI.[citation needed]
Pitcairn died at Eynsford, Kent in 1814.
Notes
[edit]- ↑ Any match listed in the ACS' Important Match Guide (1981) is historically important, and therefore of the highest standard, whether or not a scorecard might exist. The same applies to numerous matches discovered by researchers since 1981.[1] For further information, see First-class cricket.
