Bernard Broughton Waddy (3 July 1911 – 7 August 1981) was an Australian-born English first-class cricketer, physician and academic.
The son of the cricketer and clergyman Stacy Waddy, he was born at Parramatta in July 1911. He moved to England with his family as a child and was educated at Marlborough College, before going up to Balliol College, Oxford.[1] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1932, making two appearances against Leicestershire and Yorkshire.[2] He scored 11 runs and took 3 wickets for Oxford.[3][4] Two years later, he toured Ireland with the Marylebone Cricket Club, making two first-class appearances against the Ireland cricket team in Dublin at College Park and Observatory Lane.[2] He scored 38 runs on the tour and took 4 wickets.[3][4]
After graduating from Oxford, Waddy became a medical doctor, having trained at King's College Hospital. He was a specialist in epidemiology in the Gold Coast,[1] and during the Second World War he was commissioned as a second lieutenant with the African Colonial Force in April 1940.[5] He later served with the Royal Army Medical Corps attachment to the Colonial Force and was promoted to lieutenant in September 1943, antedated to April 1940.[6] Following the war, he moved into lecturing on the subject of tropical diseases and was said to have been interested in "any disease communicable on a large scale". He was a senior lecturer at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and also served in the capacity of overseas medical officer for Save the Children.[1][7] He was also a contributor to the New Scientist magazine.[1]
Waddy died at Winchester in August 1981. His uncles, Mich and Gar Waddy, both played first-class cricket.
