Tom Elliott Klose (22 January 1918 – 13 June 1986) was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for South Australia between 1939 and 1950.
A middle-order batsman, left-arm orthodox spin or medium-pace bowler and brilliant fieldsman, Tom Klose was considered one of Australia's most promising young cricketers immediately before World War II.[1][2] In his debut first-class season of 1939–40 he made 305 runs at an average of 23.46, took 18 wickets at 16.88, and took 10 catches.[3][4]
Klose served in the Army from 1940 to 1945.[5] He played a few seasons after the war without fulfilling his youthful promise. He retained his fielding skill, however: playing for Prospect in the 1948–49 Adelaide season, he won the competition fielding prize with 62 points, well ahead of the second-placed player, Neil Dansie, on 39.[6]
