Edward Cunningham (born 16 May 1962) is a former English cricketer. He played for Gloucestershire between 1982 and 1984.[1]

Career

Ed Cunningham was born on 16 May 1962 at Oxford and was educated at Marlborough College.[2] He comes from an illustrious cricketing family; both his uncle, F.G. Mann and great-uncle, F.T. Mann captained England.[3] Cunningham was a middle order or opening batsman and made his first-class debut for Gloucestershire against the Indians in 1982.[4] In all he played in 14 first-class games for the county, scoring 271 runs at an average of 15.94. His highest score, 61 not out against the Sri Lankans was his sole first-class half century.[5]

Cunningham was more successful in limited-overs cricket, particularly when he was promoted to open the Gloucestershire innings during the 1984 season. In 17 List A matches he scored 349 runs at an average of 26.84 with two fifties, the highest being 56 against Leicestershire at Grace Road in the John Player Special League in 1984.[6]

He was also an occasional right-arm off break bowler. His best first-class bowling was 2 for 55 against Worcestershire at Worcester in 1983.[7]
