Sir Philip Hubert Martineau (28 October 1862 - 7 October 1944) was an English solicitor who became President of the Law Society. He was also a cricketer who played for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) as a[1] left-arm fast-medium bowler.
Born in London in 1862, Martineau was educated at Harrow School and played for the cricket team there in 1880 and 1881.[2] He was a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating BA in 1884. He became a solicitor and was elected president of the Law Society in 1931-32 and knighted in the 1933 New Year Honours.
He made his first-class debut in 1883 for the MCC against Derbyshire.[3] [4]
Following a minor match against Northumberland in July of that year,[5] he played his second and final first-class match for the MCC against Somerset.
He died in Sunningdale in 1944, survived by his son Hubert, who also played first-class cricket.[6] Two cousins, Alfred and Lionel also played first-class cricket.[7] [8]
