Who was John Hammond?

John Hammond was an English cricketer of the late 18th and early 19th century. He was one of the greatest early Sussex players.

Hammond made his known debut in the 1790 season and completed 125 known appearances in first-class matches to the 1816 season. A genuine all-rounder, he was a left-handed batsman but he bowled right-arm slow underarm. He was a good fielder and an occasional wicket-keeper.

Hammond played for the Players in the inaugural and second Gentlemen v Players matches in 1806. His son, Charles, played first-class cricket, as did his grandson Ernest Hammond.
