Winners of the Walter Lawrence TrophyThe Walter Lawrence Trophy was first introduced in 1934 by Sir Walter Lawrence, builder so passionate about the game that he even had his own ground at Hyde Hall, near Sawbridgeworth in Hertfordshire, where many county and touring sides played. His trophy was for the fastest hundred scored in an English season in a first-class innings.Sir Walter died in 1939 and his son, Guy, was not keen on cricket and so the award fell by the wayside. But in 1965 Brian Thornton inherited the trophy on the death of his father-in-law, Guy Lawrence, and the following year reinstated the award for the fastest Test century by an England batsman, with the help of MCC and many others, including Brian Johnston.In 1970 the award reverted to its original form for the fastest first-class century during the English season. Also in that year the award was presented for the most meritorious innings of the England v The Rest of the World series to Geoff Boycott, for his 222-ball century at The Oval.In 1985 the basis for the award was changed from minutes to the number of balls faced after more hundreds began to be scored against less than challenging bowling in contrived circumstances. Matters came to a head in 1983 when Lancashires Steve OShaughnessy made a hundred in 35 minutes against Leicestershire against joke bowling. Such innings are now barred from inclusion at the discretion of the judges.The trophy, together with a cheque for ￡5,000 to the winning batsman and another for ￡5,000 to charity, is presented during an awards ceremony and dinner held in the Long Room at Lords, which is attended by current and former cricketers, correspondents and many celebrity guests.Winners1934 Frank Woolley 1935 Harold Gimblett 1936 Les Ames 1937 Joe Hardstaff 1938 Hugh Bartlett 1939 Les Ames 1966 Ken Barrington 1967 Basil DOliveira 1968 Tom Graveney 1969 Colin Milburn 1970 Geoff Boycott 1971 Brian Davison 1972 Majid Khan 1973 Asif Iqbal 1974 Garry Sobers 1975 Robin Hobbs 1976 Alan Knott 1977 Chris Old 1978 Gordon Greenidge 1979 Mike Procter 1980 Viv Richards 1981 Sylvester Clarke 1982 Ian Botham 1983 Steve OShaughnessy 1984 Mike Gatting 1985 Ian Botham 1986 Viv Richards 1987 Roland Butcher 1988 Graeme Hick 1989 Darren Bicknell 1990 Tom Moody 1991 Ian Austin 1992 Martin Speight 1993 Paul Johnson / Matthew Maynard 1994 Ken Rutherford 1995 Chris Cairns 1996 Graham Lloyd 1997 Graham Lloyd 1998 Ali Brown / Carl Hooper 1999 A Flintoff 2000 Darren Lehmann 2001 Ian Harvey 2002 Matthew Fleming 2003 Damien Martyn 2004 Richard Johnson 2005 Ian Blackwell 2006 Mark Ealham 2007 Marcus North 2008 Graham Napier 2009 Vikram Solanki 2010 Adam Gilchrist 2011 Kevin OBrien 2012 Scott Styris 2013 Darren Stevens 2014 Sam Billings / Dan Christian 2015 David Willey 2016 Tom Kohler-Cadmore Vapormax 2020 . -- Golden State Warriors coach Mark Jackson asked his players a simple question during Fridays morning shootaround: How many of them had ever been on a team 14 games over .

The Rams produced a much-improved display after looking lacklusture at the iPro Stadium in the first leg on Saturday, and did win the game 2-0.Johnny Russell put the visitors ahead after just seven minutes and the comeback looked on after Andrew Robertson turned the ball into his own net just before half-time, but Derby couldnt find another killer blow to take the tie all the way. Highlights of the Sky Bet Championship play-off semi-final second leg Hull saw out the game to win 3-2 on aggregate and set up a play-off final with Sheffield Wednesday, but Wassall was full of praise for his team following Tuesdays game. Were certainly very disappointed after Saturday, but I cant stress how proud I am of all the players tonight, the Rams head coach told Sky Sports. Derby Countys Johnny Russell celebrates his opening goal with Craig Bryson Thats how Derby County should turn up. Thats how I want a team representing me to turn up and we certainly turned up tonight. The play did the talking for them, I shouldnt have to say too much.We didnt lose the tie tonight, we lost it on Saturday and we know that but everybody who was questioning our attitude and our courage, our application and desire and what were all about, tonight we showed what Derby Countty is all about and Im very proud of the performance tonight.dddddddddddd Cyrus Christie makes progress for Derby at the KC Stadium. The Midlands outfit had beaten Hull twice in the regular season and had a good record against other play-off sides, and Wassall believes if Derby can continue to perform next season, they can make it to the Premier League.He said: The damage was done on Saturday and we had to put that to bed very quickly, but that performance is the type of performance weve been having consistently since Ive been in charge and unfortunately, when it mattered on Saturday, we didnt get that performance for whatever reason.Wed beaten Hull twice this year, we have now beaten them three times so its a funny old game that we beat them three times and didnt get to Wembley. Will Hughes and Johnny Russell were frustrated not to get the third goal Were very disappointed that were out of the tie because I think everybody saw that we deserved to go through on that performance, but credit to Hull, they won the tie and we wish them luck in the final. At least weve ended the season on a high and Ive said to the players, if they continue to perform like that on a consistent basis for 46 games next season, they will get out of his league.
