Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Allan Gibson "AG" Steel was a Lancashire and England cricketer, who was reckoned by many in his day to be the equal of the legendary W G Grace. The son of Joseph Steel of Liverpool, and Kirkwood in Scotland, he was one of seven cricketing brothers and three of his brothers Ernest, Douglas and Harold, also played first-class cricket for Lancashire. After his schooldays at Marlborough College, where he played cricket superbly, he proceeded to Trinity Hall, Cambridge. He was an instant star in the Cambridge University side of 1878 where he topped the bowling averages for the whole of England as a freshman. According to HS Altham, "it was unquestionably A.G. Steel's bowling that made the difference between a good and a great eleven". Steel played in the first ever Test Match in England at the Oval in 1880, then in the famous Test which England narrowly lost in 1882
