Wilfred Flowers

Filed Under Uncategorized | 

Wilfred Flowers (born 7 December 1856 in Calverton, Nottinghamshire, England; died 1 November 1926 in Carlton, Nottingham, England) was a professional cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club between 1877 and 1896. He also played eight Test matches for England.

Flowers was a slow bowler, who bowled offbreaks and a strong batsman who was one of the leading all-rounders of his day. He toured Australia with Alfred Shaw’s teams in 1884/5 and 1886/7, which accounted for seven of the Tests he played in. He also played in one Test at Lord’s in 1893.

After retiring as a player, Flowers served as an umpire from 1907 to 1912.

Flowers was married to Martha, and was a frame work knitter, and later a lacehand, by trade. At birth, he was registered as Wilfred Flower.
