1800 English cricket season
1799
1801

1800 was the 14th season ofcricket in England since the foundation ofMarylebone Cricket Club (MCC). It is one of the more difficult seasons to analyse because of several matches involving prominent town clubs like Rochester,Woolwich,Homerton,Richmond, Storrington,Montpelier and Thames Ditton. Details of 20 matches are known.[note 1]

Events

[edit]
  • Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) made revisions to theLaws of Cricket which were republished in their entirety.[4]
  • Robert Robinson is believed to have been the first batsman to try to introduce leg guards but his experiment was unsuccessful.[5]
  • John Ward had an outstanding debut season by scoring 213 runs, taking 47 wickets and holding 9 catches. He was the leading bowler, second highest run-scorer and one of the best fielders.
  • William Beldham with 11 ct, 1 st was the leading fielder in 1800, just ahead ofThomas Ray who took 11 ct.Nottingham wicket-keeperJoseph Dennis made an impression with 3 ct, 7 st.John Ward took 9 catches in addition to his 47 wickets.
  • Two matches between northern teams were significant in terms of the spread of cricket throughout England.Nottingham vSheffield was the first known 11-a-side game involving a Yorkshire county team. In theLeicester v Nottingham match, Leicester was dismissed for 15 and 8, an aggregate of 23 whichRowland Bowen described as "probably the lowest recorded aggregate for both innings in an important match".[5]
  • Cricket may have been feeling the impact of Great Britain's war against the Napoleonic Empire through a loss of investment which was reducing the number offirst-class matches with only 7 recognised in 1800.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^Some eleven-a-side matches played before 1864 have been rated "first-class" by certain sources, but there was no such standard at the time. The term came into common use from around 1864, whenoverarm bowling was legalised, and was formally defined as a standard by a meeting atLord's, in May 1894, ofMarylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and thecounty clubs which were then competing in theCounty Championship. The ruling was effective from the beginning of the1895 season, but pre-1895 matches of the same standard have noofficial definition of status because the ruling is not retrospective. However, matches of a similar standard since the beginning of the 1864 season are generally considered to have anunofficial first-class status.[1] Pre-1864 matches which are included inthe ACS' "Important Match Guide" may generally be regarded as top-class or, at least, historically significant.[2] For further information, seeFirst-class cricket.
