All-England Eleven vs United All-England Eleven; vs touring sides
1870-09-01
George Parr — captain of Nottinghamshire from 1856 to 1870 and of the All-England Eleven over the same period — was the dominant figure in English professional cricket between William Clarke's death and W.G. Grace's emergence. Tour captain in North America in 1859 and Australasia in 1863-64, he scored 6,626 first-class runs at 20.20 in conditions that were brutal to batters, and ran the AEE through the great rivalry years against the United All-England Eleven from 1857 to 1866.
