1776 English cricket season
- 1776 English cricket season
In the 1776 English cricket season, according to Rowland Bowen, the earliest known scorecard templates were introduced. These were printed by T Pratt of Sevenoaks and soon came into general use.
Matches
Leading fielders
Note that many scorecards in the 18th century are unknown or have missing details and so the totals are of the "known" catches and stumpings only. Stumpings were not always recorded as such and sometimes the name of the wicket-keeper was not given. Generally, a catch was given the same status as "bowled" with credit being awarded to the fielder only and not the bowler. There is never a record of "caught and bowled"the bowler would be credited with the catch, not with the wicket.
