John William Elliott (born 12 February 1942) was an English cricketer who played ten first-class matches for Worcestershire between 1959 and 1965, although he played for the county's Second XI as late as 1971.[1] He made his first-class debut against Somerset aged just 17, though then did not play at that level again for two years.[2]
Elliott claimed six of his 26 first-class dismissals in a single match, and five in a single innings. This feat came against the Pakistan Eaglets in 1963.[3] He was not a good batsman: in 11 first-class innings he reached double figures just twice.[4]
