John Young (cricketer, born 1876)

John Young (cricketer, born 1876)

"Another Derbyshire cricketer, born in 1863, was named John Young."

John Young (July 2, 1876 — August 2, 1913) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1899 and 1901.

Young debuted for Derbyshire in their bottom-placing 1899 season, though he made a good impression during his first season, making a top-score of 42 not out against Worcestershire in his final match of the season.

He played more regularly throughout the 1900 season, and matched his previous season's high against Leicestershire, though Derbyshire were to once again underperform in the Championship, finishing third from bottom. He also gained his best bowling figures during this time, the sole five-wicket innings of his career.

Young lasted just one more season in Derbyshire colours, and though he played more matches during this season than any other, his average suffered and he was to quit the game. Young was born and died in Melbourne. He was a lower-order or tailend batsman throughout his short spell at the club.
