Schofield Haigh's Last Yorkshire Years — 1913 Retirement

Yorkshire

1913-09-01

Schofield Haigh, the Yorkshire and England fast-medium bowler who had taken over 2,000 first-class wickets and had been the unsung partner of Hirst and Rhodes for two decades, retired from first-class cricket at the end of 1913 with worsening health. He died in 1921, his Yorkshire colleagues said, partly of grief at the war losses.

Schofield Haigh — Yorkshire's Third Bowler in the Hirst-Rhodes Era

Yorkshire, England

1908-08-31

Schofield Haigh, the Yorkshire medium-pacer with a sharp off-break, took 158 wickets at 12.51 in the 1902 county season — a strike rate matched in modern English cricket only by Colin Blythe (1912) and Harold Larwood (1931). Often the third bowler behind Hirst and Rhodes in published accounts, Haigh played 11 Tests for England and was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1901.
