Who Was Edward Harman?
Edward Beversham Harman was born in Cork, Ireland, in September 1802. His parents were Beversham Harman and Mary Connolly. He became known for two main things: playing a special type of cricket called first-class cricket and working as a physician (a doctor).
His Education and Studies
Edward Harman started his education in Edinburgh, a city in Scotland. After that, he went to Trinity College, Dublin in 1820. There, he chose to study medicine, which means he learned how to be a doctor.
Later, in 1830, he was accepted as a fellow at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge. Being a fellow is a special honor, often given to people who are good at research or teaching at a university.
His Cricket Career
Edward Harman made history in 1837. He became the very first graduate from Trinity College, Dublin, to play in a first-class cricket match. First-class cricket is the highest level of cricket played over several days.
Playing for the MCC
Harman played for the famous Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). This club is very important in the world of cricket. His match was against the Oxford University team. It took place at a famous cricket ground called Lord's.
In this match, Edward Harman batted twice. In the MCC's first turn to bat, he scored 0 runs but was not out. This means he was still batting when the innings ended. In the MCC's second turn, he was dismissed without scoring any runs. This is sometimes called a duck in cricket. He was bowled out by a player named Charles William Beauclerk.
Life as a Doctor
After his cricket days, Edward Harman focused on his medical career. He worked as a doctor in England. He practiced medicine in cities like Bath and Midhurst.
He later retired from his work and moved to Norfolk. Edward Beversham Harman passed away in January 1866 in a place called Weeling, when he was 64 years old.
