Thomas Edmund Bourdillon (31 May 1890 – 27 May 1961) was an Orange Free State born Rhodesian cricketer. Bourdillon was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm fast-medium. He was born at Bloemfontein, Orange Free State, and was educated at Tonbridge School in England.
Bourdillon made his first-class debut for Rhodesia against HDG Leveson-Gower's XI, making two appearances against the touring team in 1910.[1] A little over three years later, he made his next first-class appearance for PW Sherwell's XI against Transvaal, during which he scored his only first-class fifty with a score of 60.[2] He later made a single first-class appearance for English county side Sussex in the 1919 County Championship against Somerset, scoring 28 runs in the match.[1] Three further first-class appearances came later for Rhodesia, twice against Transvaal in 1923 and once against SB Joel's XI in 1924.[1] In five first-class matches for Rhodesia, Bourdillon scored 78 runs at an average of 8.66, with a high score of 24.[3] With the ball, he took 3 wickets at a bowling average of 57.66, with best figures of 2/51.[4]
He died at Salisbury, Rhodesia on 27 May 1961. His brother, Victor, played first-class cricket, as did his grandson Paul Bourdillon.
