Nottinghamshire and All-England Eleven
1853-07-01
Joseph Guy of Nottingham, one of the leading professional batsmen of the 1840s, continued to play for Nottinghamshire through the early 1850s, providing a bridge between the Pilch era and the Parr generation. A technically correct batsman with a strong forward game, Guy scored over 5,000 first-class runs and was regarded by Pilch himself as one of the finest players of the forward stroke in the country.
