Wilfred Blake

Wilfred Blake

Wilfred Blake was a first class cricketer who had the distinction of playing for both Yorkshire County Cricket Club and Lancashire County Cricket Club in his brief 3 match career.

Born on November 29, 1854 in Embsay, Skipton, Yorkshire he was a right handed batsman and right arm, roundarm, medium pace bowler.

He made his debut for Lancashire in the Roses Match at Fartown, Huddersfield in 1877. Batting at 9 in Lancashire's first innings he made a creditable 26 before being bowled by Armitage in a match won by Lancashire by 9 wickets.

This proved to be his only game for the red rose county and he reappeared in 1880 for Yorkshire against Derbyshire on the same ground. He scored 16 in a match won by Yorkshire by an innings.

His final first class game was against Gloucestershire at the Clifton College Close Ground in August 1880. He was bowled by the great W.G. Grace for 7 in the first innings and bowled by brother G.F. Grace in the second for 21 as Gloucestershire ran out winners by 6 wickets.

Blake then vanished from the first class scene, and indeed the history books as the date and circumstances of his death are not known.

Overall he scored 70 runs at 17.5. He did not bowl or take a catch.
