John Guy (English cricketer)

John Bernard Guy (16 May 1916 – 7 February 1997) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Oxford University, Kent and Warwickshire in nine matches both before and after the Second World War.^[1] He was born in Ramsgate, Kent and died at Bournville, Birmingham.

Guy played as a right-handed middle-order batsman and appeared in half a dozen games for Oxford University, where he studied at Brasenose College, in 1938 and 1939 without cementing a place in the first team or winning a Blue. His best innings was 45 in the Oxford match against Glamorgan in 1938, but in 15 other first-class innings he did not reach 20.^[2] He played a single match for Kent in 1938 and reappeared in first-class cricket in two games for Warwickshire in 1950, without success; at this stage, he was a schoolmaster at King Edward's School, Birmingham.
