Biography
William Browning had a very uneventful Olympic appearance in 1900. Batting at number nine for the French team, he was out for a duck in both innings, and was one of four French batsmen dismissed for a “pair”.
Browning was the son of a London constable, and he was a British national in 1900 as he was a member of the combined team made up of players from the Union Club and the Standard Athletic Club. However, in Paris those players competed for the French side, Union des Sociétés Français de Sports Athletiques.
