Career
Coleman is one of the earliest cricketers whose name has survived in contemporary records. In 1731, a newspaper report of a match at Mitcham Cricket Green on Saturday 2 October refers to him as "the famous Tim Coleman".
The full span of his career is unknown but he must have established his reputation during the 1720s when the London club is known to have played several matches. London was the dominant team in English cricket through the 1730s.
