- Irving Washington (cricketer)
William Arthur Irving Washington was a first-class cricketer who played 44 matches for Yorkshire County Cricket Club (1900-1902). He also appeared for Griqualand West (1904/05), Transvaal (1906/07) and the Players (1902). He also played for Yorkshire Second XI (1899-1901) and Yorkshire Colts (1902)
A left-handed batsman, he scored 1,384 runs at 21.96 in his 48 games with a best of 100* against Surrey CCC, his only century. He held 18 catches in the field. He was born on December 11, 1879 in Mitchell Main, Wombwell, Yorkshire, and died at Wombwell on October 20, 1927. His nephew Roy Kilner played Test cricket for England while another nephew, Norman Kilner played over 400 first class matches for Yorkshire and Warwickshire.
Arguably his most famous innings was one of a mere 9 not out against the Australians in 1902, as this enabled Yorkshire to reach 50/5 in their second innings and thereby scramble a five wicket victory.
