William Thomas Francis Dodd (8 March 1908 — 13 February 1993) was an English first-class cricketer and police officer.
Dodd was born in March 1908 at Steep, Hampshire.[1] Dodd made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Yorkshire at Hull in the 1931 County Championship. He played first-class cricket for Hampshire until 1935, making ten appearances.[2] A slow left-arm orthodox bowler, his first-class career was somewhat limited by the presence of Stuart Boyes in the Hampshire side, who was Hampshire's leading slow left-arm orthodox bowler of the time.[3] In his ten first-class matches, he took 10 wickets at an average of 32.10; he took one five wicket haul,[4] with figures of 5 for 63 against Middlesex in 1935.[3] With the bat, he scored 95 runs with a highest score of 31.[5] Outside of cricket, Dodd was a police officer in Southampton with the Southampton City Police.[1] He died in the New Forest in February 1993.
