The son of The Reverend Philip Thresher senior, he was born in March 1844 at Hamble-le-Rice. He was educated at Winchester College,[1] before matriculating to University College, Oxford.[2] Thresher made his debut in first-class cricket for Hampshire against Surrey at Southampton in 1865. He played first-class cricket for Hampshire until 1869, making five appearances.[3] He scored 93 runs in his five first-class matches, at an average of 11.62 and with a highest score of 47 not out.[4] Thresher joined the West Kent Cricket Club in the late 1860s, an association which he would maintain until 1875 when he became stricken by ill-health.[5] A student of the Inner Temple, he was called to the bar to practice as a barrister in 1868.[2] Thresher died, unmarried,[1] in April 1883 at Shepherd's Bush.[5]
