Thomas Greening Explained

Thomas Greening (1882 – 25 March 1956) was an English first-class cricketer who played in two matches for Warwickshire in 1912.[1] He was born in Stockton-on-Tees, County Durham, though the precise date of his birth is not known, and died at Leamington Spa, Warwickshire.

In his limited first-class cricket career, Greening was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm off-break bowler.[1] He played two matches in a week, batting twice (one time not out) and scoring 26 runs, and he took one wicket, that of the Derbyshire opening batsman Leonard Oliver.[2] Wisden Cricketers' Almanack for 1913 identifies him as an amateur, and calls him "Mr T. J. Greening".[3] He played club cricket for Coventry and North Warwickshire Cricket Club into the 1930s.[1]
