Sir Philip Hubert Martineau (28 October 1862–7 October 1944) was an English cricketer.[1] A left-arm fast-medium bowler, he played first-class cricket for the MCC in 1883.[2]

Biography

Born in London in 1862,[2] Philip Martineau was educated at Harrow School and played for the cricket team there in 1880 and 1881.[3] He was a student at Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating BA in 1884.[4] He made his first-class debut in 1883 for the MCC against Derbyshire.[5]

Following a minor match against Northumberland in July of that year,[6] he played his second and final first-class match against Somerset. He died in Sunningdale in 1944,[2] survived by his son Hubert, who also played first-class cricket.[7] Two cousins, Alfred and Lionel also played first-class cricket.[8][9]

Martineau became a solicitor. He was president of the Law Society in 1931-2 and was knighted in 1933.[4]
