John Hulme

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John Hulme (June 30, 1862 — July 11, 1940) was an English cricketer. He was a left-handed batsman and a left-arm medium-fast bowler who played for Derbyshire in two separate spells between 1887 and 1903. Hulme was born in Church Gresley and died in Nelson, Lancashire.

Hulme debuted for Derbyshire against Marylebone Cricket Club in May 1887, and finished the game with a pair. He played several matches in 1889 for Marylebone Cricket Club, and at the end of the season, spent four years out of the game.

Hulme returned to play for Derbyshire in 1894 in a set of friendly matches, and during this time he hit his first half-century. He played in the County Championship for the first time in 1895, and, with the exception of 1897, when he spent a year out of the game, he played regularly in the County Championship until 1903. Hulme hit individual first-class five-wicket innings on 34 occasions, and had 9 ten-wicket matches under his belt. His best single-innings bowling tally was a showing of 9/27 against Yorkshire in 1894.

Hulme remained a lower-order batsman for the majority of his career.
