Joseph Howard

Who was Joseph Howard?

Joseph Howard was an English cricketer, who played five first-class games for Worcestershire at the turn of the twentieth century.

He made his debut against Yorkshire in May 1900, opening the batting in both innings but making only 0 and 1 as Worcestershire were beaten by an innings and five runs in a very low-scoring game. His highest score of 28 came in his last match, against MCC in June 1901; this was also the scene of the only catch he took in his career, to dismiss John Rawlin.

Howard was born in Epsom, Surrey; he died at Evenlode House in Gloucestershire at the age of 80.
