Dickie Dodds
Thomas Carter Dodds, known in his cricket career as Dickie Dodds and outside it as Carter Dodds, (29 May 1919 – 17 September 2001) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Essex between 1946 and 1959 as a hard-hitting opening batsman.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Player profile: Dickie Dodds )〕 He was born in Bedford, Bedfordshire and died in Cambridge.
The son of a clergyman, Dodds was a strong supporter of the Moral Re-Armament movement and cricket was, in his view, "a reflection of the Great Creator" and should therefore be played in a suitably dashing and creative style.〔 Also available free of charge through UK public library subscription at (this ), but otherwise behind paywall at (Times website ).〕
==Early life and career==
Dodds was one of four brothers, the sons of a Church of England vicar who was successively in charge of parishes in Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire.〔 He was educated at Wellingborough School and at Warwick School, and then joined Barclays Bank, moving to London. He played second eleven cricket for both Warwickshire and Middlesex, but he did not feature in any first-class games, nor in any official Minor Counties fixtures and at this stage he was played as a lower-order batsman and leg-spin bowler.〔
Dodds joined the Royal Signals Regiment at the outbreak of World War II and was later commissioned, serving in India and Burma and finishing the war as a captain. His first experience of first-class cricket came during his war service: he played for a Services XI captained by Douglas Jardine against a strong Indian XI at Bombay in February 1944, the only debutant in a strong team of Test and county players.〔
