DeutschThomas Nordish
Thomas Nordish (baptised 25 March 1785 – 1 July 1842) was an English cricketer. He was a wicket-keeper who played for Kent teams in the early 19th century.
Nordish was a farmer and horse dealer who lived at Dodmore Manor Farm, Meopham throughout his life. He was the son of Thomas and Ann Nordish[a] and played club cricket in the Meopham area. He first played for a Kent side in 1805 and played in two matches which are now considered to have first-class cricket status: once in 1815 and once in 1823, opening the batting on both occasions.[1][2] His highest first-class score of nine runs came in his first innings.[3]
In 1818 Nordish played for an England side against a 22-man Nottingham side in a non-first-class match.[2]
Nordish married Elizabeth Dorrinton in 1827.[2] He died at Meopham in 1842 aged 57.[4][3]
