2 unusual facts about Peter Kippax


Peter Kippax

The Yorkshire team, about to begin their domination of the County Championship during the 1960s were well served with spinners such as Ray Illingworth and Don Wilson, and had little room for Kippax's leg spinners.

Fifteen years after his last Yorkshire appearance he turned out for the MCC against the Tykes at North Marine Road Ground, Scarborough in September 1987, taking the wickets of centurians Ashley Metcalfe and Ian Swallow, as well as Peter Hartley and Phil Robinson for a duck.
