William Guy Dible (5 November 1861 — 15 August 1894) was an English first-class cricketer.
Dible was born in Southampton in November 1861. Dible made his debut in first-class cricket for Surrey against the touring Australians at The Oval in 1882, in what was his only appearance for Surrey.[1] In 1883, he was engaged by Hampshire,[2] debuting for Hampshire in that season against Sussex at Hove, with him taking figures of 5 for 69 in the Sussex first innings.[3] He played first-class cricket for Hampshire until the county lost its first-class status at the end of the 1885 season, with Dible making 25 appearances.[1] He had success as an effective right-arm fast bowler, taking 90 wickets at an average of 22.12; he took five wickets in an innings on five occasions and ten wickets in a match once. His career best innings bowling figures were 7 for 60.[4] As a batsman, he scored 495 runs for Hampshire at a average of 13.37, making one half century score of 68.[5] Following the loss of Hampshire's first-class status, he continued to play second-class matches for Hampshire until 1890.[6] Dible died at Fareham on 15 August 1894.[7]
