Sydney Morland Crosfield (12 November 1861 – 30 January 1908) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Lancashire from 1883 to 1899 and was club captain in 1892 and 1893.[1] He also played non-first-class cricket for Cheshire from 1881 to 1887.[2]
Crosfield was educated at Wimbledon College in Surrey.[2] His highest first-class score was 82 not out, which he scored twice: against Yorkshire in 1891, when he was the highest scorer in the match, which Lancashire won,[3] and against Nottinghamshire in 1892, when he was again the match's top scorer, though this time Nottinghamshire won.[4]
He was also a champion shot with the gun, winning the Grand Prix de Casino at Monte Carlo two years in succession.[5]
