1947 English cricket season
- 1947 English cricket season
The 1947 English cricket season is remembered for the batting performances of Denis Compton and Bill Edrich who established seasonal records that, with the subsequent reduction in the number of first-class matches, will probably never be broken. They were assisted by the fact that it was the driest and sunniest English summer for a generation.
