Thomas Lloyd "Tom" Maynard (25 March 1989 – 18 June 2012) was a Welsh cricketer who played for Surrey. A right-handed batsman and very occasional right-arm off break bowler, he was the son of former Glamorgan and England batsman Matthew Maynard. == Life and career == Born in Cardiff, Maynard attended Pentyrch Primary School, Radyr Comprehensive School, and then moved to Millfield School before attending Whitchurch High School for sixth form. Maynard made his way up the ranks with Glamorgan, starting in the county's Under-17s side at the age of 15. By the time he was 16, he had reached the Glamorgan 2nd XI and was playing for the Wales Minor Counties team. Maynard made his debut for the Glamorgan First XI on 10 June 2007, playing in a Friends Provident Trophy match against the Gloucestershire Gladiators at Colwyn Bay. He hit 71 runs off 75 balls, including seven fours and three sixes before being caught and bowled by Mark Hardinges. After batting second, Glamorgan lost by six runs. Maynard's Twenty20 Cup debut soon followed, as he played in Glamorgan's three-run defeat to the Warwickshire Bears on 24 June 2007; he scored 11 runs before being caught by Tim Ambrose off the bowling of Heath Streak. His first-class debut finally came two months later on the third day of a County Championship match against Somerset. No play was possible on the first two days of the match, so Maynard's debut ended up being restricted to just one innings, in which he scored 15 runs before being caught by Craig Kieswetter off Steffan Jones. He also bowled two overs in the Somerset innings, conceding 18 runs. After his debut, Maynard's seasonal first-class batting average increased from 11.66 to 22.60, with an overall average of 15.33 and a top score of 51 not out. His Twenty20 average has also increased from 8.66 to 14.57, with an overall average of 12.45, but his List A average remained fairly constant at around 35, except for a drop to around 21.5 in 2008. In both 2009 and 2010 he scored one List A century.〔(ListA Batting and Fielding in Each Season by Tom Maynard ) Retrieved 20 June 2012〕 Maynard signed a three-year deal to play for Surrey before the 2011 season. The season saw a big improvement in his batting; in 16 first-class matches, he scored 1,022 runs at an average of 40.88, and made his first three centuries, with a highest score of 141.〔(First-class Batting and Fielding in Each Season by Tom Maynard ) Retrieved 20 June 2012〕 In 14 List A matches (of which one was played in Scotland) he scored 515 runs at an average of 39.62.〔 In one of these matches, on 4 September, he hit a 50 off just 28 deliveries.
