John Humphrey Dyson (28 September 1913 - 16 July 1991) was an English first-class cricketer. He played first-class cricket for Oxford University and the Free Foresters between 1933 - 38.
Dyson was born at Honley in Yorkshire on 28 September 1913. He was educated at Charterhouse School, where he played for the school cricket team for two years.[1] From Charterhouse he went up to Christ Church, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford he made his debut in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Free Foresters at Oxford in 1933.[2] He played just once for the university in 1933, but followed this up with eleven first-class appearances in the following season.[2] The 1934 season started well for Dyson, with him 29 wickets, with best figures of 5 for 54,[3] however he struggled toward the tailend of the season and was dropped by Oxford captain Gerry Chalk.[1] He made two appearances in 1935, but struggled against Lancashire as Cyril Washbrook made 228.[4] [1] He managed to force his way back into the Oxford team in 1936, making eleven first-class appearances and taking 34 wickets at an average of 22.88, with best figures of 6 for 47.[3] Dyson played 25 first-class matches for Oxford, taking 68 wickets his slow left-arm orthodox bowling, at an average of 30.98.[5] He later made a final first-class appearance for the Free Foresters against Oxford University in 1938.[2] He died at Wonford in Exeter in July 1991.
