Colin Mitchell (Cricketer) (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Colin Gerald Mitchell, born at Brislington, Bristol on 27 January 1929 and died there on 13 September 2007, played first-class cricket as an amateur for Somerset in the early 1950s. Mitchell was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm fast-medium bowler. He played four matches for Somerset in the 1952 season, when the side finished bottom of the County Championship for the first of four consecutive seasons, and then turned out for them regularly in the 1953 season, when the side was perhaps even weaker. He had one highly successful match - though, true to form, Somerset lost the game. Against Worcestershire at Frome, he took six of the eight wickets to fall in the first innings at a personal cost of 62 runs, and then five of the seven that fell in the second innings, to finish with match figures of 11 for 177.
