Martin McIntyre
Martin McIntyre (15 August 1847 – 28 February 1885) was an English first-class cricketer who played for Nottinghamshire from 1868 to 1877. He was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, and died in Moorgreen.[1]
McIntyre was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm round-arm fast bowler from a mining background.[2] In 77 first-class games he scored 1,992 runs at an average of 16.32 and took 194 wickets at an average of 17.39. In a low-scoring match for Nottinghamshire against Surrey in 1872, he made 88 not out and 28, and took 9 for 33 and 3 for 66.[3] For North against South at Lord's in 1873 he took 8 for 18 in the South's first innings then top-scored with 77 in the North's second innings.[4] He toured Australia with W. G. Grace's XI in 1873–74.
McIntyre's career was hampered by his heavy drinking. He died of tuberculosis in 1885 aged 37, leaving a widow and children.[2]
