}}Sir Thomas Edgar Halsey, 3rd Baronet DSO (28 November 1898 – 30 August 1970) was an English cricketer,[1] naval officer (1916–1946), and Deputy Lieutenant of Hertfordshire.[1]

A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast bowler, he played first-class cricket between 1920 and 1928[2] and also represented the Egypt national cricket team.[3]

Early life

Born in South Mimms in 1898, Halsey was the elder son of Sir Walter Halsey, 2nd Baronet, and his wife Agnes Marion, the daughter of William Macalpine Leny.[4] He was educated at Eton College and Jesus College, Cambridge. He was already a lieutenant in the Royal Navy when he went up to Cambridge.[5]

Cricketer

Halsey was a right-handed batsman and right-arm fast bowler.

He played cricket for Eton in 1915 and 1916, but it was for the Royal Navy cricket team that he made his first-class debut, playing against his university side during the 1920 English cricket season.[6]

He played twice for the university cricket team in 1920, but did not gain his blue. The rest of his first-class matches were all for the Royal Navy, mostly against the British Army cricket team, though there were also matches against the RAF and New Zealand.[6]

He began to play minor counties cricket for Hertfordshire in 1921, continuing to play for them until 1932,[3] a year in which he played for the Navy against a combined South America team. In 1936, he played for Egypt against HM Martineau's XI,[7] captaining the side and scoring a century in the first innings.[3][8]
