Other Events
"June". Mr Waghorn in "Cricket Scores" recounts a report of a single wicket match on Kennington Common. This names Mr Wakeland the distiller and Mr George Oldner playing together against two "famous" Richmond players who are "esteemed the best two in England". Unfortunately the esteemed pair are not named, though one of them suffered serious facial injuries in this game when the ball came off his bat and hit his nose. The report rails against "human brutes" who insisted he should play on despite his injuries, their money being more important, of course! [H T Waghorn, "Cricket Scores, Notes, etc. (1730-1773)", Blackwood, 1899] ]"Fri 9 July". "Rayner’s Morning Advertiser" announced a same day match at "White Lion Fields" in Streatham between Streatham and London. No report of the game was found; it might not have been a major match [G B Buckley, "Fresh Light on 18th Century Cricket", Cotterell, 1935] .]References
