Amos Marshall

Amos Marshall was a first class cricketer who played one match for Yorkshire County Cricket Club in 1874 and one match for the North of England in 1875.

His sole match for Yorkshire came in the Roses Match against Lancashire CCC at Great Horton Road, Bradford. He bowled 7 overs in Lancashire's innings, coming on second change with his left arm medium pace, as Lancashire compiled 209. Batting in the tail he was dismissed for a duck and 3 as Yorkshire then collapsed to a sorry innings defeat on a rain affected wicket.

His last game came against the South of England for the North of England at Lords in May, 1875. He was second top scorer, with 13, as James Southerton took 9 for 30 to bowl out the North for just 90. Southerton was denied his tenth wicket only by the last man being run out. Marshall took 1 wicket for 7 in 4.3 as the South were skittled in turn for 123. Marshall was left not out 3 when the North again collapsed to 72 all out, with the remarkable Southerton helping himself to 7 for 22 and match figures of 16 for 55, and W.G. Grace and Henry Jupp knocked off the 41 needed to win by 10 wickets.

Marshall was born on July 10, 1849 in Yeadon, near Leeds, where he died on August 3, 1891, aged 42,
