Edmund Hinkly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edmund Hinkly (12 January 1817 - 8 December 1880) was an English cricketer, best remembered for being the first man to take all ten wickets in a first-class innings in an eleven-a-side game, claiming 10-48 while playing for Kent against England at Lord's in 1848. He was a left-handed batsman and left-arm fast round-arm bowler.
Born in Benenden, Kent, Hinkly made his first-class debut against Surrey at The Oval in 1846, and played 43 matches between then and 1858, including two for Surrey: one against an All-England XI in 1848 and one against Nottinghamshire five years later. He also appeared four times for England in matches against counties, twice for South of England and once for "Surrey Club" (as opposed to the county itself). He stood as umpire for the Surrey v Kent match at The Oval in 1852.
Hinkly finished his career with 318 runs at 6.36 and 189 wickets at about 14; this latter figure is approximate as his full bowling analyses for 1846 and 1850 are unknown. He died in Walworth, London at the age of 63.
