William Sloman

Who was William Sloman?

William Henry Sloman played first-class cricket for Somerset in four matches in 1895 and 1896. He was born in Launceston, Cornwall and died at South Molton, Devon.

A middle-order batsman, Sloman did well in two first-class matches against university sides in 1895. He scored 48 and 19 in the game against Cambridge University. And a week later he made 7 and 15 and took one wicket against Oxford. But when he returned for two County Championship matches in 1896 he was not successful.

Cricketarchive has on its records a scorecard from a minor cricket match in 1894 between teams of licensed victuallers in which Sloman featured and where he was identified as coming from Minehead.
