cricket club in history. Since the County Championship was constituted
in 1890, Yorkshire has, in addition to one shared Championship, won it
outright on 30 occasions and Yorkshire cricket supporters take great
pride in the county's cricketing history. As well as the club's
successes, there have been 42 Yorkshire players chosen as Wisden
Cricketers of the Year. Many have been world-class cricketers such as
Wilfred Rhodes, Len Hutton, Fred Trueman and Geoffrey Boycott, with
distinguished England careers.
Many thousands of Wisden pages have been filled with Yorkshire
cricket, Yorkshire cricketers and Tests in Yorkshire. Wisden on
Yorkshire is a fascinating journey mixing great matches, personalities,
feats, controversies and unusual occurrences.
