The Lord John Philip Sackville (born 22 June 1713; died 3 December 1765 in Tour du Pain, Lake Geneva, Switzerland) was the second son of Lionel Sackville, 1st Duke of Dorset. He was a keen cricketer who was closely connected with the sport in Kent.

Career

Sackville was first recorded as a cricketer in the 1734 English cricket season when he and his brother Lord Middlesex played for Kent v Sussex at Sevenoaks Vine on Friday 6 September H T Waghorn, "Cricket Scores, Notes, etc. (1730-1773)", Blackwood, 1899] Timothy J McCann, "Sussex Cricket in the Eighteenth Century", Sussex Record Society, 2004] .

In the 1744 English cricket season, Lord John challenged an All-England side to play against his Kent side, and Kent won the game with one wicket to spare, largely thanks to Sackville himself taking a memorable catch [His effort was eulogised in "Cricket, An Heroic Poem" (1745) by James Love] to dismiss Richard Newland. The [http://www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/0/1.html match details] were preserved Arthur Haygarth, "Scores & Biographies, Volume 1 (1744-1826)", Lillywhite, 1862] .

Family

He married Frances Leveson-Gower, daughter of John Leveson-Gower, 1st Earl Gower and their son, John Frederick, later 3rd Duke of Dorset, was a member of the Hambledon Club and a leading supporter of cricket in the latter half of the eighteenth century. His son-in-law, the 8th Earl of Thanet, was an early member of the Marylebone Cricket Club. His grandsons John Tufton and Henry Tufton were noted amateur players at the end of the 18th century.
