'''Cyril Rutherford''' "'''Snuffy'''" '''Browne''' (8 October 1890 – 12 January 1964) was a Barbadian [Test cricket](/source/Test_cricket)er who was a member of the first [West Indies](/source/West_Indies_cricket_team) Test cricket team, playing against England in 1928.<ref>{{cite web |title=Snuffy Browne |url=http://www.espncricinfo.com/westindies/content/player/51234.html |website=Cricinfo |accessdate=11 October 2019}}</ref>

Browne was born in Robert's Tenantry, [St Michael](/source/Saint_Michael%2C_Barbados), [Barbados](/source/Barbados).  A right-arm [medium pace](/source/Medium_pace_bowling) bowler and right-handed batsman, he played [first-class cricket](/source/first-class_cricket) for [Barbados](/source/Barbados_national_cricket_team) and [British Guiana](/source/Guyana_national_cricket_team) in a career that extended from 1909 to 1938. His best bowling figures were 5 for 77 and 8 for 58 for British Guiana against Barbados in 1925–26.<ref>{{cite web |title=British Guiana v Barbados 1925-26 |url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/11/11727.html |website=CricketArchive |accessdate=11 October 2019}}</ref> His highest score was 103, scored in an hour, and the only century in the match, when the touring West Indians beat [Kent](/source/Kent_County_Cricket_Club) in 1928.<ref>{{cite web |title=Kent v West Indians 1928|url=https://cricketarchive.com/Archive/Scorecards/12/12885.html|website=CricketArchive |accessdate=11 October 2019}}</ref><ref name=WCA>''[Wisden](/source/Wisden_Cricketers'_Almanack)'' 1965, p. 964.</ref>

He played two Tests on the 1928 tour and two at home when England visited the [West Indies in 1929-30](/source/English_cricket_team_in_the_West_Indies_in_1929%E2%80%9330).<ref name=WCA/>

At one time he was a magistrate in [British Guiana](/source/British_Guiana).
