Who is Tom Webley?

Thomas 'Tom' Webley is an English cricketer. Webley is a left-handed batsman who bowls slow left-arm orthodox.

Born in Bristol before moving to the village of Corfe Mullen in Dorset, Webley had been educated at King's College, a boarding school in Taunton, Somerset. In 1999 he first appeared for the Somerset Second XI in the Second Eleven Championship. In 2001, Webley was selected to represent the Somerset Cricket Board in the 2001 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy and as a result he made his debut in List A cricket against Wales Minor Counties, following this up the next season with his second List A appearance, which was to be the last of his career, against Cornwall in the 1st round of the 2003 Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy which was held in 2002.

Taking up education at Anglia University, given its proximity to Cambridge resulted in Webley appearing for Cambridge University, for whom he made his debut in first-class cricket in 2003 against Essex. Two matches later he scored a maiden century against Northamptonshire, making a cautious 104 before being dismissed by Monty Panesar.
