One of a series which presents the full history of cricket clubs enhanced by scorecards of the club's greatest matches, a full statistical section, boxed biographical features and photographs, this is the history of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club. Notts began at the top. For a quarter of a century from 1864 they dominated the Championship with early cricketing giants like George Parr, Richard Daft and Arthur Shrewsbury. However, Notts ran into financial problems and were in the forefront of controversy with the players, strike of 1881 and the great "bodyline" row in the 1930s. The club struggled through the period from 1950 to 1980 but their fortunes changed with the arrival of players like Hadlee, Rice and Randall.

ARLOTT, JOHN.

When Arthur Carr played his last first-class cricket match in 1934, it was the end of an impressive career which saw him play for Nottinghamshire for 25 years, lead England as captain and score 45 centuries.Yet Carr graced Trent Bridge little in the years after his retirement. The reason? He was tainted by Bodyline – it was Carr who pioneered Bodyline bowling as the captain of Nottinghamshire and defended its use after the infamous tour of Australia.Winner of the County Championship, soldier in the Great War, Wisden Cricketer of the Year, inspiration for novelist Alec Waugh – Carr was far more than the instigator of a bowling tactic. Based on years of research, Peter Wynne-Thomas is bringing this forgotten captain – who could be both inspiring and alienating – back into the spotlight.
