CRICKETER WHO HAS TAKEN 7000 WICKETS STILL BOWLS WELL

AT 60 YEARS

Mr. William H. Marsh, of Har- penden. Herts, has established' a record that. he thinks, cannot be equalled in the whole history of cricket, writes a Home correspon-

dent.

He has just taken his. 7000th wicket. He has reached that total in 42 years

of club and county cricket. He has an authenticated record of every wicket he has ever

taker

"It would be interesting to know," he said to me, whether there is anybody else who has an authen- ticated record of taking anything like 7000 wickets in his lifetime."

We were sitting in the pavilion of the Clarence Park ground at St. Albans, watching the match between Hertfordshire and Buck- inghamshire.

120 WICKETS THIS SEASON Mr. Marsh is tall and thin-his girth, he boasts, has not changed by half an inch in 30 years and, althoug he is near his 81st birth- day, he still has the supple, loosely knit figure of an athlete..

Indeed, he still bowls as danger- pusly as ever he did, for he has taken 120 wickets in club cricket already this season.

With one eye on the match that was being played outside, he told me the

story of his personal cricket record.

"It started in 1891, when he first | played for the Basingstoke Gram- mar School. His father, who kept a big, hunting stable at Basing- stoke, and his grandfather were both club cricketers.

His grandfather started a book of records of the boy's cricket, noting his acores, and the wickets he took in school matches. When his grandfather died. Mr. Marsh continued to enter his cricket in the book, and he has kept it up to Hate ever since.

PLAYED FOR HERTFORDSHIRE

He took about 150 of his 7000 wickets in school matches. “Then he moved to Harpenden, and open ed a hunting stable of his own."

he began to play for To 1998 Hertfordshire in the Minor Coun- tles matches. He was played at first for his batting, and he made a few centuries. From 1907 to 1923 he played in every Hertford
