Cecil Ponsonby

This was a chastening year for Worcestershire: in 30 County Championship matches they won not a single game, and against a Nottinghamshire side containing Larwood, Voce and Staples they were thrashed by an innings and 21 runs.

Combined Islands cricket team

Captain Findlay and number 11 Hugh Gore added six for the final wicket before time ran out - thus, the scores were tied at the end of the match, the match was drawn since the Islands had not lost the final wicket (in which case it would have been a tie) and the Shell Shield title went to Guyana instead of the islands.

Grenville Wilson

Worcestershire won the game by three wickets thanks largely to the efforts of Reg Perks (10–135 in the match) and George Dews (100 in the first innings), but Wilson himself was a bit-part player: he bowled 17 overs, but took only the single wicket of David Evans.

Ravinder Senghera

Worcestershire declared their first innings at 388/1 (Turner 202*) and eventually won by an innings, so Senghera did not get to bat, but he claimed five wickets in the match, his maiden scalp being that of Peter Hayes.

Thomas Stringer

Worcestershire were crushed by an innings and 183 runs, and Stringer's only innings of bowling brought him figures of 1-103, his one and only victim in first-class cricket being future Test player Harry Makepeace.
