Timeline

1901

Sir Wilfred William Hill Hill-Wood (8 September 1901 – 10 October 1980) was an English financier and cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire between 1919 and 1936, as well as for Cambridge University and Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC).

Hill-Wood was the second son of Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, 1st Baronet, and his wife Hon. Rachel Bateman-Hanbury.

His father was a Member of Parliament and had also played cricket for Derbyshire.

1918

He was educated at Ludgrove and Eton, where he played for the first XI, appearing in the Eton-Harrow match in 1918, 1919 and 1920.

He then went to Trinity College, Cambridge.

1919

Hill-Wood made his debut for Derbyshire in the 1919 season when he took 2 wickets and scored a total of 49 in two innings against Northamptonshire.

He played two more games in 1919 and next played one game for Derbyshire in the 1921 season.

1921

In 1921 and 1922 he was playing for Cambridge University.

1922

He took part in a Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) tour of New Zealand in 1922/23 and was a regular in the Derbyshire side in the 1923 season

Towards the end of the season, he was the subject of an article by Neville Cardus in the Guardian:

“The contrast between Hill-Wood’s strokes as they flashed from his bat and the ugliness of his stance as the bowler ran to the crease was intriguing.

Surely so much of radiance, never before went hand-in-hand, with sheer distortion on the cricket field, as when Hill-Wood plays a long innings.

As he awaits the ball, he is in an attitude, both angular and flat; he is “cut in two”, so to say, by a bend in the body that gives us a lively suggestion of a right-angle come to life.

Even as the ball passes through the air towards him, Hill-Wood’s body remains cramped and unlovely, his bat making a spasmodic up-and-down movement.

Then if at the last second, the ball turns out right for hitting, Hill-Wood suffers a sudden transformation-quick as thought his body throws off it’s cramping angles, and becomes erect while the bat accomplishes the stroke.

It all happens as though, suddenly, Hill-Wood had broken free from chains; the transformation, indeed, might well suggest a livelier metaphor-that the batsmen emerges at the critical moment in his own useful and confident image after casting away a magic cap or Tarnhelm that has been disguising his true shape in the shape of crabbed age.”

1924

He played two matches for Derbyshire in the 1924 season and five for them in the 1925 season in which years he also played for the Eton Ramblers.

1932

In 1932/33 he played during a tour of India, and performed again for Derbyshire in the 1935 and 1936 seasons.
