In 1843, they played two games against MCC, one at Lord's and one at Barker's Ground in Leicester; they lost both, and in the second innings of the first match were dismissed for just 30.
Midland Counties' top scorer in all four innings of these games was Alfred Mynn, their most famous player.
They won the 1896 game by four wickets thanks to an unbeaten 90 from future England Test captain Arthur Jones and ten wickets in the match from John Hulme; this was Midland Counties' only first-class victory.
The 1899 match was won by the Australians, although Jones again top-scored with 90.
