Johnny Briggs (cricketer)
Johnny Briggs (3 October 1862 – 11 January 1902) was an English left arm spin bowler who played for Lancashire County Cricket Club between 1879 and 1900 and remains the second-highest wicket-taker in the county's history after Brian Statham. In the early days of Test cricket, Briggs‘ batting was considered careless, although still very useful. He was the first bowler in Test cricket to take 100 wickets, and held the record of most wickets in Test cricket on two occasions, the first in 1895 and again from 1898 until 1904, when he was succeeded by Hugh Trumble. He toured Australia a record six times, a feat only equalled by Colin Cowdrey. Briggs was a notably short man at about five feet five or 165 centimetres.

As a batsman, Briggs was capable of hitting very effectively, but as time went by an eagerness to puni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
