Born in Moseley , Birmingham , Bird was 31 by the time he played in his - and indeed Worcestershire's - first County Championship match, against Yorkshire in May 1899 . He scored 14 and nought, and bowled eight overs without reward. He again went wicketless in his second match, against Sussex , and his third against Warwickshire was ruined by the weather. Bird finally broke his duck in his fourth game, when he bowled Oxford University 's Lionel Collins for 42.
1905 was a poor year for Bird as he could manage only eight wickets At Over 32 Runs Apiece , and though in 1906 he took 35, from then onwards he gradually became less of a force in the Worcestershire team, playing his final game in July 1908 against Somerset . He died in Worcester at the age of 59. Bird stood as in June 1903, although he was replaced by G Watts after the first day. EXTERNAL LINKS |
