Appleton Wiske, Yorkshire born Joseph Easby joined the British Army and served in the King’s Own York and Lancaster Regiment where, according to his Wisden obituary, he “learned his cricket” under the command of Leonard Hamilton. He played seven matches for Hampshire County Cricket Club in 1890 at a time when the County did not have first class status.
Easby showed such promise as a cricketer that he was “persuaded to leave the Army” and took up the position of groundsman at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury in order that he could qualify to play County cricket for Kent. In local cricket he scored a century on the ground in his first appearance for St Lawrence Cricket Club in 1892 and made his Kent County Cricket Club first class debut in 1895.
He went on to play 62 first class matches for the County between 1895 and 1899. He was described as having “many strokes” and “was a fine field” who “could keep wicket well” but who did not fulfil his potential at first class level, scoring 1,851 runs at an average of 18.32, scoring 8 half centuries with a highest score of 73. He also took 13 wickets in first class cricket at 32.61 apiece with a best performance of 2-8, and also was an occasional wicket-keeper, stumping 3 opponents while also taking 26 catches.
