Thomas Hartigan Dixon (born 22 January 1906 in Punjab, India; died 12 April 1985 in Nakuru, Kenya[1]) was an Irish cricketer. A right-handed batsman and right-arm fast-medium bowler[1], he made his debut for the Ireland cricket team against Scotland in July 1927[2] in a first-class match.[3] He went on to play for Ireland on 17 occasions, his last match coming in July 1932 against the MCC.[2]
Of his matches for Ireland, eight had first-class status. In all matches for Ireland, he scored 372 runs at an average of 15.50, with a top score of 52 not out against the MCC at Lord's in July 1931. He took 79 wickets at an average of 16.95, with his best bowling figures being 7/51 on his debut against Scotland.[2]
Prior to playing for Ireland, he played two first-class matches for Dublin University against Northamptonshire in 1926.[3] After playing for Ireland, he moved back to India, the country of his birth[1], and played four first-class matches there, one for a Viceroy's XI (the Viceroy of India at the time was George Freeman-Thomas) and three for Delhi.[3] His brother Patrick also represented Ireland at cricket.[1]
