		Grace was born at Downend, near (An industrial city and port in southwestern England near the mouth of the River Avon) Bristol.

	W. G. Grace - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of his sons (W.G. Grace Junior) played for two years in the University of Cambridge XI (and also for Gloucestershire, London County, and the M.C.C. He didn't live up to his illustrious name, averaging 15 with the bat and nearly 40 with the ball.
		Grace was one of the finest fieldsmen in England, in his earlier days generally taking long-leg and cover-point, later generally standing point (see Fielding positions in cricket).
		His style as a batsman was more commanding than graceful, but as to its soundness and efficacy there were never two opinions; the severest criticism ever passed upon his powers was to the effect that he did not play slow bowling quite as well as fast.

		Then Grace himself led a tour to Australia that included four amateurs in 1873/4, where the most important game was won against a XV of New South Wales and Victoria.
		The match was fiercely contested, as evidenced by WG Grace's gamesmanship in running out Sammy Jones when Jones left his crease to attend to a divot in the pitch.

		W.G. Grace: A Life is a 545 page hardback which follows Robert Low's W.G. (1997) as the second biography to be released within the year celebrating the 150 th anniversary of W.G.’s birth.
		It is the most substantial of all the W.G. biographies and meticulously traces his life from a 'humble provincial background' as the son of a country doctor, to being among the three most recognized faces in Britain along with Queen Victoria and Prime Minister Gladstone.
		W.G. is an honourable husband and demanding father (particularly regarding his eldest son, WG junior), but his children are introduced only in fleeting glimpses.

		WG Grace was not one of the exceptions.
		It is telling to note that two recent, voluminous and apparently thorough biographies of WG Grace, while mentioning the building of the Gloucestershire County Ground, make not the slightest reference to this episode in its inauguration, and their respective indices contain no entries for either baseball or Spalding.

		WG was no slouch at gamesmanship either -- whether or nor he invented it.
		From the time of WG to the early 1960s, English cricketers were divided into two distinct classes, amateurs or gentlemen and professionals or players.

		Grace played little test cricket and had an average of just over 32.

		Grace played his first first-class match in 1865 at the age of 17 and his last 43 years later in 1908 when aged almost 60.
		One could of course go on but it gets repetitive after a while, suffice it to say that for the whole of his career he was a practicing family doctor and more than once he played his innings or took his wickets after attending patients all night.

		Athletic is not a word that obviously comes to mind when contemplating Grace in his prime, though a slim young man did precede the pot-bellied genius who in middle age was far too heavy for any horse to bear.
		Grace's towering presence, more than any other single factor, transformed it into the unrivalled spectator sport of summer, first of all in England, subsequently in other lands spread widely across the world.

		This period of English cricket was dominated by WG Grace.
		At his peak in the 1870s his first-class season averages were regularly between 60 and 70, at a time where uncovered, poorly-prepared pitches meant that scores were far lower than the modern game.

		EM might also have been considered the finest all-rounder of the 19th century (Wisden once described him as 'the most dangerous bat in England') were it not for the overshadowing talents of his younger brother.
		WG (William Gilbert) was the most impressive of all the Graces, both in terms of facial hair and cricketing ability, and he is fully deserving of his reputation as the father of cricket.
		WG, eight years younger, also had his best years behind him, but he went on to play 22 Tests.

		Midwinter's midsummer dilemma should have been easily resolved: he was on good terms with Gloucestershire's captain, WG Grace, and had already agreed to play for them when required.
		Grace was certainly expecting him to turn out against Surrey at The Oval, but when the day dawned, Midwinter found himself wavering between county and (adopted) country.
		Earlier that day, five miles away in downtown Kennington, WG had realised that his team was one man short - and he soon guessed why.

		The fourth of five sons of a Gloucestershire doctor born in Downend, Bristol, England on July 18, 1848 William Gilbert Grace (popular as W. Grace) is indisputably the most famous of all cricketers and the game's greatest single influence.
		Grace created or broke virtually every major batting record during his era and did so in an age of uncovered and frquently hazardous pitches.
		Known in his later years as `The Doctor' (he was a qualified surgeon), Grace celebrated his 58th birthday in the Gentleman vs Players match by scoring 74 runs.

		For example, the 152 by WG Grace is given as 294 balls, whereas the possible range is actually 289-298 balls, and Murdoch’s 153*, given as 358 balls, is actually in the range 350-366.
		These cases appear to be consistent with the match descriptions, including the famous catch off Bonnor by GF Grace (who died only weeks after this match).
		Folklore has it that the batsmen crossed twice while the ball was in the air, but the next ball of the same over, which was hit for four, was faced by Bonnor’s batting partner Boyle.

		Renowned as a visionary, Grace was proud of establishing London County and said its purpose was to ‘give invaluable First-Class match experience to many cricketers who could not otherwise get it and who would be all the better for it when they came to play in County cricket.’
		One hundred years on from Dr WG Grace’s amazing feats, London County Cricket Club has been revived to help develop people to grace the game.
