George Brown (cricketer, born 1783)
George Brown (27 April 1783, Stoughton, Sussex – 25 June 1857, Sompting, Sussex) was an English professional cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1819 to 1838.
A right-handed batsman and fast underarm bowler who played for Hampshire and Sussex, he made 51 known appearances in first-class matches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Player Profile: George Brown )〕 He represented the Players in the Gentlemen v Players series.
Brown was credited with 89 wickets in his career (i.e., bowled only) with a best return of six in one innings. He had a reputation for extreme pace and was widely known as "Brown of Brighton". He is said, though the story may be apocryphal, to have once killed a dog when a ball he had bowled went past the stumps and through a coat held by the longstop, hitting the dog which was behind the coat.〔Altham, p. 57.〕 Another of his longstops, a man called Dench, insisted on fielding with a sack of straw tied to his chest for protection.〔Frith, p.28.〕 E H Budd played against both Brown and Walter Marcon, who had a similar reputation, and Budd said that "Brown was not more terrific in his speed than Marcon", an elaborate way of saying that they were both extremely fast.〔Frith, p.41.〕 Brown was a useful batsman and made 1053 runs at 11.44 with a top score of 70 which he scored during the first of the three roundarm trial matches.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Sussex v Kent County Match 1825 )〕 He died in Sompting, Sussex.〔
