RELATIONS

(twin brother)

Herbert Pigg played the bulk of his career for Hertfordshire, who he represented between 1876 and 1897, but spent two seasons in 1874 and 1875 with Northamptonshire. Wisden said: "As a member of the Cambridge XI of 1877 he did practically nothing against Oxford, scoring only a couple of runs in his two innings and having nine runs scored off him without taking a wicket. Subsequently he took part in the Hastings Week with success, making 7 and 59 and taking 8 for 125 for South v Australians in 1886, and in two Gentlemen v. Players matches, in 1889 and 1891, scoring 54 for twice out and obtaining a dozen wickets for 13.66 runs each." Pigg and his twin brother, Charles, were commonly known as Hot and Cold Pigg!
