Alexander Watson (4 November 1844 – 26 October 1920) was a Scottish first-class cricketer who played for Lancashire County Cricket Club. He was one Lancashire's first long-serving professionals, and in his prime formed part of a strong bowling attack with A. G. Steel, Dick Barlow and John Crossland that lifted Lancashire to success in the 1881 and 1882 seasons when they won 22 and lost only one of 29 inter-county matches.Wynne-Thomas, Peter; ''The Rigby A–Z of Cricket Records''; p. 54 Career Watson learned his cricket in his native Scotland for the Drumpelier and Edinburgh Clubs as a fast bowler, but attracted no attention until he moved to Rusholme in 1869 where he was discovered by Lancashire as a slow bowler in the contemporary round-arm style; however, Watson had an unusually deceptive flight for his time and could vary his stock off-break with a ball that turned the other way to great effect. Moreover, Watson was an exceptionally accurate bowler and his short stature a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

William Attewell
William Attewell (; commonly known as Dick Attewell) (12 June 1861 – 11 June 1927) was a cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and England. Attewell was a medium pace bowler who was renowned for his extraordinary accuracy and economy. On the many sticky or crumbling pitches encountered in his prime Attewell could get on a great deal of spin so as to always beat the bat, whilst his accuracy would make slogging – the only way to make runs under such conditions – very difficult. He was responsible for the development of "off theory" – bowling wide of the off stump to a packed off-side field to frustrate batsmen on the rapidly improving pitches of the 1890s. At times Attewell was a useful batsman for his county, and he scored 102 against Kent in 1897. Against the fleet-footed Australian batsmen of his time, Attewell was fairly ineffective. Moreover, with bowlers such as Lohmann and J.T. Hearne available who could do all Attewell could, he had trouble ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
