Cricket ball up for auction
By Will 3 years ago, mid-March Leave a comment on this post
Just found this. It’s a commemorative ball, given to Edward Barratt. He bowled the Australians out in 1878 (stop laughing - we have done other things since then). It’s up for auction at the Chester branch of Bonham’s next month.
Initially I presumed it was a Test match, but on trawling through Google found it was “just” Surrey v Australia on their tour here in 1878. More stats on Edward here where you’ll note he took over 700 wickets at 17 each! Handy bowler - can we resurrect him for this summer’s Ashes…?
