First-class cricket is an official classification of the highest-standard international or domestic matches in the sport of cricket. A first-class match is of three or more days' scheduled duration between two sides of eleven players each and is officially adjudged to be worthy of the status by virtue of the standard of the competing teams. Matches must allow for the teams to play two innings each although, in practice, a team might play only one innings or none at all.

Yorkshire County Cricket Club is one of eighteen first-class county clubs within the domestic cricket structure of England and Wales. It represents the historic county of Yorkshire. The club's limited overs team is called the Yorkshire Vikings. Yorkshire teams formed by earlier organisations, essentially the old Sheffield Cricket Club, played top-class cricket from the 18th century and the county club has always held first-class status. Yorkshire have competed in the County Championship since the official start of the competition in 1890 and have played in every top-level domestic cricket competition in England.

Born in Southcoates, Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, Deyes was a right arm fast bowler, who took 41 wickets at an average of 23.02. He had a best of 6 for 62 against Ireland, and took 5 for 75 in a County Championship game against Somerset. A right-handed tail-ender, he scored 44 runs at 2.20, with a first-class career best innings score of 12.^[1]
