Jem Broadbridge
James "Jem" Broadbridge was born in Duncton on the 25th June 1795. He died in Duncton on the 12th February 1843.
Mainly playing for Sussex, he was a significant English cricketer in the 1820s and 1830s. Described by Arthur Haygarth in Scores and Biographies as "an extremely hard hitter" he was arguably the outstanding all-rounder of his time. The right-handed bowler and batter, played for Sussex at the same time as William Lillywhite and their bowling enabled Sussex to become hailed as the Champion County in the 1820s.
Broadbridge and Lillywhite were innovators who did much to have roundarm bowling legalised.
His known career in major cricket spanned the 1814 to 1840 English seasons. In 102 matches, he scored 2671 runs with a highest score of 135. He took 51 catches and 324 wickets.
His elder brother William, 1790-1860, was an occasional Sussex player in 25 matches between 1817 and 1830. His younger brother Robin who was born in 1797, played 4 matches between 1822 and 1824. The Broadbridge brothers were cousins of their Sussex colleague George Millyard.
