 Johnny Briggs   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
In the early days of Test cricket, Briggs was one of the most successful bowlers, proving deadly whever wickets were affected by rain, whilst both for his county and country his batting — though at times too careless — was very useful.
Briggs first played for Lancashire in 1879, and established himself as a regular player by 1882 despite hardly bowling at all and doing little of significance with the bat.
Nonetheless, Briggs' superb bowling — though aided by a number of sticky wickets — won Lancashire their first official County Championship in 1897, but he was a disappointment in Australia the following winter and suffered a severe decline in his bowling the following year.

Briggs was ten years old at the time, and he became a huge fan of Bill Haley & His Comets and other early American rock & roll bands.

 Johnny Briggs (cricketer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnny Briggs (born October 3, 1862, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Nottinghamshire, England; died January 11, 1902, Heald Green, Cheadle, Cheshire, England) was a cricketer who was a left arm spin bowler for Lancashire County Cricket Club between 1879 and 1900 who still stands as the second-highest wicket-taker in the county's history after Brian Statham.
In 1885, Briggs developed amazingly as a bowler: having scarcely bowled at all in previous seasons, he took 67 wickets for 13.74 each, and in 1886, his bowling helped England achieve a 3-0 cleansweep of the series, their last whitewash victory in a series of three or more Tests in the Ashes until 1977.
Many people remark on Briggs' sharp and atheltic fielding and it was probably due to the skills and fitness that he gained during his stint with Widnes.
