I wish again to acknowledge my appreciation for others who have helped in providing details for this book. Help has been received directly or indirectly from the staff at the British Newspaper Library at Colindale, at the county record offices and county libraries, and at the National Archives at Kew. The invaluable assistance provided by Michael Pearce, Colin Munford and Andrew Lowe , who have devoted many hours of their time to reading, correcting, amending and improving the material which makes up this publication, must be recorded as before. Without their contribution, the preparation of this booklet would have literally been impossible. Next, I must thank Peter Griffiths of CricketArchive for accepting with much grace the large number of amendments that have come his way to enhance the original draft. It is worth recording that all the amendments related to the text and not the statistical data provided by CricketArchive. It is also appropriate to note that Peter was the Association’s Cricket Statistician of the Year for 2009, an award he has richly deserved. Finally, I must express my appreciation to my wife Anne who has allowed me to devote more time to this project than I had any right to expect. As before, I accept responsibility for any mistakes and omissions that may occur in this document, and would ask readers to bring them to my attention for inclusion in the next book which will cover the 1904 season Tony Webb – Editor and Project Coordinator Tel 020-8998-7106 Email: webb1pn@btinternet.com
