Earliest cricket

Curiously, the earliest known reference to cricket in the county is the Nottingham v Sheffield match on the Forest Racecourse at Nottingham on Monday 26 and Tuesday 27 August 1771. The outcome of the game was "not determined on account of a dispute having arisen by one of the Sheffield players being jostled"! The match is the first important inter-county match involving teams from either Notts or Yorkshire.

Origin of club

Nottinghamshire as a county team, and perhaps also as Notts CCC, played its first inter-county match versus Sussex at Brown’s Ground, Brighton on 27, 28 & 29 August 1835. Notts is recognised as a first-class county team, rather than a town club team, from 1835 but it is doubtful if the organisation at this time was a formally constituted club.

History

Beloved of Neville Cardus, Trent Bridge has played host to some of the most famous names of English Cricket. Early professional greats such as Alfred Shaw and Arthur Shrewsbury enabled Nottinghamshire to at least compete with Yorkshire at their peak.

Known for astute foreign signings, the club landed the greatest overseas star of them all in Sir Garfield Sobers in the late sixties. Sobers hit Malcolm Nash of Glamorgan for six sixes in an over in a County Championship game. Sir Neville Cardus (2 April 1889 - 27 February 1975) was a celebrated British journalist. ...
