Page "W. G. Grace" Paragraph 68

In 1888, Grace scored two centuries in one match v Yorkshire ( 148 and 153 ) and labelled this " my champion match ".

He had reduced his bowling somewhat in the last few seasons and he became an occasional bowler only from 1889.

Injury problems, particularly a bad knee, took their toll in the early 1890s and Grace had his worst season in 1891 when he scored no centuries and could only average 19. 76.
