John Derek Stenton (born 26 October 1924) was an English cricketer who played in one first-class match for Somerset in 1953.
Stenton was born in Sheffield on 26 October 1924. He was a right-handed batsman and a slow left-arm bowler. Somerset,searching for a slow left-armer to replace Horace Hazell,who had left the staff at the end of the 1952 season,played him in the match against Surrey at the County Ground,Taunton at the end of May 1953. But his two overs in Surrey's first innings cost 26 runs,and though he took the wicket of David Fletcher in the second innings,it was not enough to keep his place in the side.
A few matches later,the 17-year-old Brian Langford,an off-spin bowler,took 14 wickets in his second match for Somerset,and opened up alternative spinning options. And John McMahon,who took five first innings wickets for Surrey in the game that Stenton appeared in,was signed by Somerset as a slow left-arm bowler for 1954. Stenton did not play first-class cricket again after this one appearance.
Colin Leslie McCool was an Australian cricketer who played in 14 Test matches between 1946 and 1950. McCool,born in Paddington,New South Wales,was an all-rounder who bowled leg spin and googlies with a round arm action and as a lower order batsman was regarded as effective square of the wicket and against spin bowling. He made his Test début against New Zealand in 1946,taking a wicket with his second delivery. He was part of Donald Bradman's Invincibles team that toured England in 1948 but injury saw him miss selection in any of the Test matches.
Malcolm Jameson Hilton was an English left-arm spin bowler,who played for Lancashire and in four Test matches for England.
Roy Kilner was an English professional cricketer who played nine Test matches for England between 1924 and 1926. An all-rounder,he played for Yorkshire County Cricket Club between 1911 and 1927. In all first-class matches,he scored 14,707 runs at an average of 30.01 and took 1,003 wickets at an average of 18.45. Kilner scored 1,000 runs in a season ten times and took 100 wickets in a season five times. On four occasions,he completed the double:scoring 1,000 runs and taking 100 wickets in the same season,recognised as a sign of a quality all-rounder.

The 1885 season was an annus horribilis for Somerset County Cricket Club. Captained by Ted Sainsbury,who had taken over from Stephen Newton,captain for the previous three seasons,they played six first-class cricket matches. Somerset's only win of the season came in their first match;all the other were lost. Two of the losses,those away against Gloucestershire and Surrey,number among the county's ten heaviest defeats. Somerset were unable to field a full team for their fourth match,which coupled with their poor results and lack of fixtures resulted in the club being stripped of its first-class status at the end of the season.
