Anthony Thomas Carrick Allom (21 October 1938 – 26 September 2017) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Free Foresters, Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and Surrey between 1959 and 1961.[1]
His highest score of 34 not out came when playing for Free Foresters in the match against Oxford University in 1959, his first-class debut.[2] His best bowling of 5/79 came in the same match.[2]
He also played three Second XI Championship matches[3] and seven Minor Counties Championship games for Surrey Second XI.[4] His solitary first-team county appearance occurred in a high-scoring draw against Warwickshire at The Oval in July 1960, failing to capture a wicket as Norman Horner and Khalid Ibadulla compiled an unbroken first-wicket partnership of 377.
One of the tallest county cricketers of all time, his height was measured at 6 feet 9 inches or maybe an inch taller (thus equalling Paul Dunkels and Will Jefferson). When he was a schoolboy cricketer at Charterhouse, where he played in the first XI from 1954 to 1957, Wisden gave his height as 6 feet 10 1/2 inches.[5]
His father was the England Test player Maurice Allom.
