Cecil Dudley Seddon (3 July 1902 – 18 April 1978) was an Australian sportsman who represented New South Wales in both cricket and rugby league.
Seddon played rugby league for the Newtown in the New South Wales Rugby League from 1920 to 1926.[1] He was one of the New South Wales rugby league team's three-quarters in a representative match against Queensland on 5 June 1921.[2] [3]
Seddon made his first-class cricket debut in a 1926/27 Sheffield Shield match against Queensland. A middle order batsman, Seddon made just six and four.[4]
He had to wait a year to make his next first-class appearance, which came against Tasmania in 1927/28. Seddon again didn't have an impact, making 10 and 22 in his two innings.[5]
The right-hander made three appearances in New South Wales's winning 1928/29 Sheffield Shield campaign.[6] His best performance came against Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where he made a pair of half centuries (80 and 59).[7] Also that summer, Seddon played a first-class match against Tasmania in Hobart and scored a career best 134.[8] It was his final first-class innings.
Seddon was a selector for the Australia national cricket team from 1954 to 1967.[9]
