1919 English cricket season
The 1919 cricket season was the 322nd in England since the earliest known definite reference to cricket in January 1597 (i.e., Old Style – 1598 New Style), and the 26th in which the County Championship has been an official competition. It was the first season to stage first-class cricket since 1914 because of the First World War. Authorities were unsure as to whether cricket would remain popular after a four-year break, and so County Championship matches were reduced from three days in duration to two days, a change that proved unpopular. Yorkshire finished the season as county champions, topping the table by four percentage points. No Test cricket was played during the season, but an Australian Imperial Forces team toured England, playing matches from mid-May until mid-September. Andy Ducat, Patsy Hendren, Percy Holmes, Herbert Sutcliffe and Ernest Tyldesley were named as the Wisden Cricketers of the Year.
During the 1919 tournament, points were only awarded for winning matches, and as each county was allowed to arrange their own fixtures, the table was ordered by "percentage of possible points". Yorkshire were the county champions, winning twelve of their twenty-six matches to claim 46.154% of possible points. They were followed by Kent, who had 42.857%, and Nottinghamshire with 35.714%. Warwickshire finished bottom of the table, with just one win from their fourteen matches, 7.143%.
