Nat Thomson


Nathaniel Frampton Davis Thomson was an Australian cricketer who played in the first two Tests ever played, in 1877.

Until 1993 Wisden listed him as Nathaniel Thompson , bornApril 1838 in Birmingham, England, and the brief biographical details in Bill Frindalls Wisden Book of Test Cricket 187677 to 197778 list him as such. This would have made him the earliestborn Australian Test cricketer. However, a note in the Births and Deaths section of the 1993 Wisden announced that research had led to a change in the details for N.F.D. Thomson , and since that time Thomsons name and birth information have been listed as in this article. Thomson and Ned Gregory are now assumed to have been born on the same day, and jointly hold the distinction of being the earliestborn Australian Test cricketer.
