{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2015}}Peter Wynne-Thomas BEM (born 30 July 1934 in Retford, Nottinghamshire[1]) is an English cricket writer, historian[2] and statistician who has for many years been the archivist and librarian of Nottinghamshire CCC.[3][4] The library at Nottinghamshire's Trent Bridge cricket ground is named The Wynne-Thomas Library in his honour.[5] He has been one of the club's general committee members.[6] In 2016 he was elected President of the club.[7]

Life

Wynne-Thomas trained as an architectural consultant but, from what began as a hobby, he has specialised in cricket statistics and research.[8] He has written cricket books, some intended for those with a beginner's or casual interest in the sport.[9] Examples are the Hamlyn A-Z of Cricket Records, which is a selection of statistical information; and A History of Cricket: From the Weald to the World which presents an account of cricket's history. His Nottinghamshire Cricketers 1821-1914 won The Cricket Society Book of the Year Award in 1971.

During the 1960s, Wynne-Thomas worked with Rowland Bowen on The Cricket Quarterly.[10] In 1973, he was involved in the foundation of the Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians (ACS). He was the original treasurer until 1974 and then secretary until he retired in 2006.[11]

Wynne-Thomas managed the Sport-in-Print bookshop (opposite the Trent Bridge Inn by Trent Bridge Cricket Ground in Nottingham) from December 1987.[12] The ACS purchased the premises in 1993 as its headquarters. Wynne-Thomas combined his shop and ACS roles until March 2006, when he retired and the shop was sold, the ACS relocating to Cardiff.

He was awarded the British Empire Medal in the 2019 New Year's Honours List for his services to cricket.
