Wisden on Yorkshire: An Anthology — Duncan Hamilton

Yorkshire County Cricket Club is by far the most successful county

cricket club in history. Since the County Championship was constituted

in 1890, Yorkshire has, in addition to one shared Championship, won it

outright on 30 occasions and Yorkshire cricket supporters take great

pride in the county's cricketing history. As well as the club's

successes, there have been 42 Yorkshire players chosen as Wisden

Cricketers of the Year. Many have been world-class cricketers such as

Wilfred Rhodes, Len Hutton, Fred Trueman and Geoffrey Boycott, with

distinguished England careers.



Many thousands of Wisden pages have been filled with Yorkshire

cricket, Yorkshire cricketers and Tests in Yorkshire. Wisden on

Yorkshire is a fascinating journey mixing great matches, personalities,

feats, controversies and unusual occurrences.
