Week 10: 20 July - Derbyshire, H.K. Foster's XI, and Worcestershire
Update: 2019-07-16
Description
Tangents this week include: Cricket in Macedonia: https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/66505807/6487836 The invention of the dilscoop and leg glance. Proponents of the ‘dibbly dobbly’ school of bowling (AKA pie chuckers). RMIT Wuhan winning an international cricket tournament. Dirty Germans and John McClain/MacLean.
Corrections: The leg glance is usually attributed to Ranjitsinhji, not WG as mentioned. The original ‘Hat Trick’ was H. H. Stephenson for the All England Eleven against the twenty-two of Hallam at Hyde Park Ground, Sheffield, in 1858. Two players have taken all 20 wickets on six occasions in Test matches. There’s over 60 players who have completed the 10 000 run 1000 wicket double, not a handful. It was Worcestershire who did not compete in 1919, not Gloucestershire in 1920.
