Pye (Sussex cricketer)

Pye (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for Sussex during the 1740s.

In the 1747 and 1748 seasons, he was reported to have played in a total of three single wicket matches, all at the Artillery Ground. Two of these were "threes" matches in which he teamed up with Stephen Dingate and Joseph Rudd, all of them being described as employees of the Duke of Richmond who patronised many of these contests.

As Pye had established his reputation by 1747, he must have been active for some years previously. His career probably spanned the 1740s and 1750s when very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports.
