Who was John Madden-Gaskell?
John Charles Pengelley Madden-Gaskell, also known as John Madden played first-class cricket for Glamorgan and Somerset between 1922 and 1930. He was born at Pontypool, Monmouthshire and died at Helston, Cornwall.
Educated at Haileybury College, Madden-Gaskell played as a right-handed batsman. He appeared in one match for Glamorgan as J. C. P. Madden in 1922, acoring 7 and 32 in the game against Yorkshire at Leeds. That was his only game for Glamorgan.
In 1928, playing as J. C. P. Madden-Gaskell, he played seven matches for Somerset, starting with an innings of 51 when batting at No 9 in the match against Kent at Taunton. He added 89 in 75 minutes for the eighth wicket with Box Case. Returning to the Somerset side in an injury crisis in mid-season, Madden-Gaskell was used as an opener and had instant success in the match against Nottinghamshire at Taunton, scoring 42 and 63 against an attack containing Harold Larwood, Fred Barratt and Bill Voce. The 63, which contained 11 fours, was his highest first-class score. He was less successful in later games and returned to the middle of the batting order. Two further matches in 1930 were also unsuccessful, and were the last of his first-class career.
