William Peach

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Peach (May 6, 1875 — January 29, 1959) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-fast bowler who played for Derbyshire. He was born in Timberland Fen and died in Stonegravels.

Peach made his first and only first-class appearance against Leicestershire in the 1905 season. Despite Peach taking 4-46 with the ball during the only innings in which he bowled - including the wickets of John King and Albert Knight, he was dropped from the team for the next game and never appeared for Derbyshire again - as they were defeated by an innings margin scoring, in the first innings, one of the lowest scores in their first-class cricketing history - just 36 all out.

Peach was a tailend batsman.
