William Ayling (30 September 1766 – October 1826) was an English cricketer who played in 22 first-class cricket matches between 1800 and 1810.[2]
Ayling was born in 1766 at Cocking in Sussex, the son of Robert and Mary Ayling. He was a shoemaker and moved to Bromley in Kent in the early years of the 19th century.[b][1] He made his first-class debut for an England XI against a Surrey side in August 1800 at Lord's Old Ground and went on to play for a variety of sides, most frequently in first-class matches for England sides.[c][6] He played for the Players in the first two Gentlemen v Players matches in 1806 and made one appearance in a first-class match for a Kent XI against an England side at Bowman's Lodge in 1806.[6]
Playing more frequently for Kent sides in non-first-class matches, including in odds matches,[d] Ayling is known to have played cricket until 1815, playing for club sides including Woolwich Cricket Club and Prince's Plain Club.[1][3] His batting technique was unusual. He held the bat in one hand until just prior to hitting the ball and stood square on to the bowler.[1]
Ayling died at Bromley in October 1826.[2] It is possible that he was the brother of the Robert Ayling who played two first-class matches for Kent in 1796.[a][6][7]
