1919 English cricket season
Encyclopedia
The 1919 English cricket season was the first to stage first-class cricket since 1914. Yorkshire won the title but in their team as in everyone else's, the sense was of overwhelming loss. The county matches in this season were played over a course of two days. But this experiment was deemed a failure and the format was reverted to three day matches from 1920.
