James Brelsford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

James Brelsford (December 19, 1855 — December 24, 1924) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Derbyshire between 1883 and 1886. Brelsford was born in Brimington and died in Bowden, Cheshire.[1]

Brelsford's Derbyshire debut came in the 1883 season, when Derbyshire played Lancashire. His opening game ended in an innings defeat, though Brelsford took one wicket during his bowling spell. Brelsford continued to play throughout the summer months of 1883, taking best bowling figures of 5-31 (matchend figures of 9-73) in his next game against Surrey.

Brelsford played in three further County matches for Derbyshire during the 1883 season, and two matches against Marylebone Cricket Club, the first of which Derbyshire lost by an innings margin. Brelsford represented the team one further time, during the 1886 season, but once again was out of the side immediately after this match. Brelsford was a tailender for Derbyshire.
