William Coverdale

Born in Pickering, North Riding of Yorkshire, England, Coverdale was a wicket-keeper, taking two catches between the two matches. His batting was less than successful, with only two runs in two completed innings.[1] Yorkshire saved the match against the Australians, scoring 344 for 7 after being forced to follow on. Kent was also forced to follow on in his final match, but again good batting secured them a draw.

Coverdale died in September 1934, in Bridlington, East Riding of Yorkshire, aged 72.
