John Bagot
Edit ProfileCareer
A right-handed batsman, his sole match at first-class level came in what was retrospectively considered the inaugural first-class match in the West Indies, played against Barbados at the Garrison Savannah, Bridgetown, in February 1865. In the match, Bagot scored three runs in each innings, coming in last in the batting order. Bagot did not participate in the return Barbados–Demerara fixture, played in Georgetown in September 1865, and died in the colony in June 1901.
Three other Bagots played first-class cricket for Demerara in the 19th century – William (1845–1918), Edward (1856–1903), and Cecil (1858–1921), all born in Georgetown.
lieutenant is unclear if or how the four Bagots were related.
