William Wilmot

William Wilmot

William Wilmot (December 25, 1869 — May 19, 1957) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a wicket-keeper who played for Derbyshire between 1897 and 1901. Wilmot was born in Denby and died in Wade Hill.

Wilmot made his debut during the 1897 County Championship, against Warwickshire. While he made a good account of himself during four games over the next fortnight, he did not play a first-class game during the 1898 season, instead opting to play for the Lancashire Second XI. Wilmot returned to the Derbyshire squad during 1899, playing one match in the County Championship before Derbyshire played host to the touring Australian cricket team.

Despite Wilmot finishing not out from seventh in the batting lineup, Derbyshire lost by an innings margin, thanks to centuries from the Australians' batsmen Hugh Trumble, Monty Noble and Joe Darling, all of whom were past and future Test cricketers for the national side. For the second time in Wilmot's career, there would be a two-year wait until his next County Championship appearance.

Derbyshire finished the 1901 season bottom of the County Championship table, and, having played one final first-class game in July 1901 against London County, Wilmot played no further games for the team.

Wilmot was a tailend batsman for the Derbyshire team on the cusp of the 19th and 20th centuries.
