Ralph Crookes (9 October 1846 – 15 February 1897)[1] was an English first-class cricketer, who played one match for Yorkshire in 1879 against Kent, at Mote Park, Maidstone.
Crookes was born in Sheffield, Yorkshire, England.
His only first-class outing brought him little personal glory.
He scored a 2 not out at number 11 in Yorkshire's first innings, and then a duck when he was promoted to open second time around.
Although he bowled ten overs for just 14 runs in Kent's second innings, he did not take a wicket,[1] and Kent won just seven runs as Yorkshire were bowled out for 114 chasing 121 to win.
