Allan Frederick Tinsdale White (5 September 1915 – 16 March 1993) was an English amateur first-class cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who played for both Warwickshire and Worcestershire, captaining the latter county between 1947 and 1949, though sharing the captaincy with Bob Wyatt in the last of those three seasons. He also played for Cambridge University, as well as making a single appearance for Free Foresters. He passed fifty 26 times without ever going on to score a century.
Born in Earlsdon, Coventry, White was educated at Uppingham School before going up to Pembroke College, Cambridge.[1] He made his first-class debut for Cambridge University against Sussex in May 1936, scoring 93 (which was to remain his highest score for the university) before being out lbw to the bowling of Charles Oakes.[2] He won his blue that season, playing in the Varsity Match at Lord's where he made 19 and 5. He also played six games for Warwickshire in the County Championship, often getting a good start though never going on to a big score, and finishing with 272 runs at an average of 30.22, placing him third in the county's averages.[3]
