Hunt was born at Chesterfield in September 1819. He made his debut in first-class cricket for Yorkshire against Manchester at Manchester in 1845. Hunt played first-class cricket on 39 occasions from 1845 to 1858.[1] In addition to playing for Yorkshire, Hunt also appeared for an All England Eleven, England, Lancashire, Manchester, the North, the Players, Sheffield and a United All-England Eleven.[2] In his 39 matches he scored 922 runs at an average of 15.11, with a high score of 102.[3] This score, which was the only time he passed fifty in first-class cricket, came for the North in the North v South fixture of 1856 at Broughton.[4] As a right-arm roundarm fast bowler, he took 67 wickets at a bowling average of 14.94, taking five wickets in an innings on five occasions and ten wickets in a match once. Playing as a wicket-keeper, Hunt made nine stumpings.[3]
Crossing a railway line near Rochdale while returning from a cricket match, he was "overtaken by a train and fearfully mangled", and died shortly afterwards.[5]
