List of Shropshire County Cricket Club List A players

(Redirected from John Roberts (Shropshire cricketer))

This is a list of cricketers who have played for Shropshire County Cricket Club in List A matches. Shropshire, one of the Minor Counties, played 26 List A cricket matches – a one-day, limited overs form of cricket – between 1974 and 2005. After making their List A debut in the 1974 Gillette Cup the county played once in both the 1976 and 1978 editions of the competition. Minor counties were not a regular feature of List A competitions at the time and Shropshire played 15 matches in the NatWest Trophy between 1983 and 2000 before playing eight matches in the Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy between 2001 and 2005.

The knock-out nature of the Gillette Cup means that in most competitions Shropshire only played one match, most often against a first-class county. They won six matches during the time they competed in List A competitions, the first win coming against Yorkshire, a first-class county, in the 1984 NatWest Trophy. This was the only time the team was successful against first-class opposition, although the county reached the third round of List A competitions in 2000 and 2002, beating other Minor Counties or Cricket Boards, as well as winning against Ireland in 2000.

Players are listed alphabetically. Most players also made appearances for Shropshire in the Minor Counties Championship and some represented other sides in top-class cricket.
