Norris (London cricketer)
- Norris (London cricketer)
-
Norris (dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for London Cricket Club during the 1740s.
Career
Norris is mentioned in 1744 and 1745. On Saturday, 2 June 1744, he played for London against Slindon in the earliest match that has a surviving scorecard.[1] On Wednesday, 26 June 1745, he played for R Newland's XI versus Long Robin's XI.[2]
As Norris had established his reputation by 1744, he must have been active for some years previously and his career probably began in the 1730s. Very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports and there are no other references to Norris.
