Edmund Peate & William Storer. 1895. (Cricketers)

For Sale is a Full Page removed from "Famous Cricketers and Cricket Grounds," 1895, showing a Photograph on each side for the Following Two Cricketers.

1- Edmund Peate.
Though out of first-class cricket for some time now, PEATE was for a few years distinctly one of the very best bowlers of the day.  His record for Yorkshire was one of continuous success, and hsi early retirement from first-class cricket was a subject of considerable regret.  But his reputation rests on a higher basis than County matches, for he did good service for the Players, as well as for England against Australia.  He was the forlorn hope, as many still remember, of England, on that historic occasion at the Oval, in 1882, when Australia won by eight runs.  A left-hand slow bowler with a very easy delivery, he got at times a lot of work on the ball, and on any sort of wicket was rarely uneffective.  Even now, though in his fortieth year, is very successful in Club cricket in Yorkshire.

2- William Storer.
DERBYSHIRE'S wicket-keeper, STORER, is one of the best batsmen in the County withal.  Only twenty-seven years of age, he ought to be of use to Derbyshire Cricket for many years to come.  Strong in physique, he has advantages as a batsman which he does not fail to untilise.  A ggod useful size for a wicket keeper, he has in adition all the pluck and resolution necessary for that onorous position.  In proof of his capacity as an all-round Cricketer, it need only be stated that he was selected to represent the Players against the Gentlemen at Lord's last year.  Has good defence as a batsman, with no lack of hit.  Is eminently safe as a wicket-keeper, and without unnecessary show.

Condition is Very Good.
