Yorkshire County Cricket Club, Records (WYL2053)
1861 - 2011
Treasure Trove for a True Cricket Fan
Yorkshire County Cricket Club was founded on January 8 1863 at the Adelphi Hotel, Sheffield.
The collection includes scorebooks 1863-2010 – a complete run apart from a 3-year gap around 1900. A cricket statistician’s dream, the scorebooks record every match the club played and include all the famous names and feats.
In 1896...
Yorkshire amassed the highest score in county cricket - 887 against Warwickshire at Birmingham. Lord Hawke scored 166 contributing to an 8th-wicket partnership of 292.
At this date the scores reflect the Gentlemen and Players. Players are mentioned only by their surnames, Gentlemen by their initials (or titles).
