Cecil Dudley Seddon (3 July 1902 – 18 April 1978) was an Australian sportsman who represented New South Wales in both cricket and rugby league.

Rugby league[]

Seddon played rugby league for the Newtown in the New South Wales Rugby League from 1920 to 1926.[1] He was one of the New South Wales rugby league team's three-quarters in a representative match against Queensland on 5 June 1921.[2] [3]

Cricket[]

Seddon made his first-class cricket debut in a 1926/27 Sheffield Shield match against Queensland. A middle order batsman, Seddon made just six and four.[4]

He had to wait a year to make his next first-class appearance, which came against Tasmania in 1927/28. Seddon again didn't have an impact, making 10 and 22 in his two innings.[5]

The right-hander made three appearances in New South Wales's winning 1928/29 Sheffield Shield campaign.[6] His best performance came against Queensland at the Sydney Cricket Ground, where he made a pair of half centuries (80 and 59).[7] Also that summer, Seddon played a first-class match against Tasmania in Hobart and scored a career best 134.[8] It was his final first-class innings.

National selector[]

Seddon was a selector for the Australia national cricket team from 1954 to 1967.[9]
