Sir George Talbot, 3rd Baronet
George Talbot (1761 – 1850) was an English cricketer. He was an early MCC member who had previously been elected a Hambledon Club member in 1788. He played in 23 recorded matches from 1785 to 1791 and was a useful batsman.
In HCC, he is mentioned in connection with "some quaint wagers" in the betting book at White's Club. A member of the military, he eventually succeeded to his family title as 3rd Baronet.
