- 1753 English cricket season
In the 1753 English cricket season, only a handful of match reports have been found.
A poem, dedicated to the 1st Duke of Dorset, refers to a crimson cricket ball [Hugh Barty-King, "Quilt Winders and Pod Shavers: the history of cricket bat and ball manufacture", MacDonald and James, 1979] . It may have been made by Mr Clout, whose firm was in Sevenoaks where the Dukes of Dorset reside at Knole House.
