First-class Cricket
First-class cricket, along with List A cricket and Twenty20 cricket, is one of the highest-standard forms of cricket. A first-class match is one of three or more days' scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each and is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each, although in practice a team might play only one innings or none at all. The etymology of "first-class cricket" is unknown, but it was used loosely before it acquired official status in 1895, following a meeting of leading English clubs. At a meeting of the Imperial Cricket Conference (ICC) in 1947, it was formally defined on a global basis. A significant omission of the ICC ruling was any attempt to define first-class cricket retrospectively. That has left historians, and especially statisticians, with the problem of how to categorise earlier matches, especially those played in Great Britain be ...

Dickie Burrough
Herbert Dickinson "Dickie" Burrough (6 February 1909 – 9 April 1994), played 171 first-class cricket matches for Somerset in a career that last for 20 years from 1927. An amateur right-handed batsman who sometimes opened the innings, Burrough was born at Wedmore in Somerset and played fairly regular first-class cricket for Somerset in the early 1930s, making useful runs and fielding athletically. He was, said his obituary in Wisden, "notably enthusiastic". He had been at Cambridge University, but appeared there in only one trial match for "seniors", and never made the first-class cricket side. He was also passed over at Cambridge for hockey, failing to win his university Blue for the sport, though he later played three times for the England team. In 1931, he played cricket regularly for Somerset, though his highest score was only 55 and he averaged just 16 runs per innings. The following year, 1932, he hit centuries against Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, the former ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
