Thomas Douglas Watt (21 December 1891 — 13 June 1949) was a Scottish first-class cricketer and cricket administrator.
Watt was born at Edinburgh in December 1891. He was educated at George Watson's College. A club cricketer for Watsonians, he made his debut for Scotland in first-class cricket against Ireland at Dublin in 1912, with Watt making a further appearance against Ireland prior to the First World War. Following the war, he made a further nine first-class appearances, the last of which came in 1924.[1] Playing as a right-arm medium pace bowler, he took 21 wickets at an average of 39.09, with best figures of 3 for 47.[2] As a lower middle order batsman, he scored 149 runs in his eleven matches at an average of 10.64, with a highest score of 23.[3] Watt later served as honorary secretary of the Scottish Cricket Union from 1925 to 1947. A solicitor by profession, he died suddenly at Edinburgh in June 1949.[4] [5]
