Description: Who developed the ‘chinaman?’ Who was the original ‘sledger?’ What was a ‘Clown Cricketer’ and why was he so named? Which Yorkshire player was Winston Churchill’s fag? Why was the World famous polymath, Professor Lewis Fry Richardson, included in this book? If you don't know the answers to questions like this, then look within. Yorkshire Cricket Club... Every Day Of The Year takes the reader on a journey through the club's history. It captures the drama from the club’s early days to the glory eras, the years when Yorkshire were on top of the world with performances which helped them to clinch 33 County Championships.

With individual entries for every day of the year, plus multiple listings for busier times, it includes all the big matches, championship titles, promotions, relegations and limited over successes. It also gives details of Yorkshire players who also represented England with some good, and some not so good, stories to titillate the reader.
