Samuel Morgan

By Brian Halford on Feb 19, 09 03:56 PM

Samuel Morgan, Warwickshire's first regular wicket-keeper upon the re-establishment of the County Club in 1882, died at the Crown Inn, Edgbaston, in February 1913. He was a poor batsman and did not take part in County Cricket in 1886.

So reported Wisden in 1914.

Two things.

Where is, or was, the Crown Inn, Edgbaston?

And did the chaps at Wisden really have to point out to the world that the dear-departed was a poor batsman?!
