John Cutbush (dates of birth and death unknown) from Maidstone was a famous English cricketer of the mid-18th century who played for Kent. By profession he was a clockmaker in Maidstone. ==Cricket career== Cutbush must have begun playing in the 1730s, or earlier, when match details are scarce but by 1743, when he is first mentioned in contemporary reports, he is included among ''the six best players in England''. This was when he took part in a "threes" contest at the Artillery Ground alongside his Kent colleagues William Hodsoll and Val Romney against Richard Newland, William Sawyer and John Bryant.〔Ashley-Cooper, 1743〕 In 1744, Cutbush played for Kent in the famous match at the Artillery Ground which forms the first entry in ''Scores & Biographies''. He was involved in the final partnership with Hodsoll, scoring 7 * as Kent won by that one wicket.〔Haygarth, p.1.〕 Cutbush may have been a veteran by then because that is the last time he is recorded. There seems little doubt that he was a considerable player whose best years were behind him by the time reports of the matches became more informative.〔From Lads to Lord's〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Cutbush (cricketer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
