List of English cricketers (1787–1825)

This is a list of English cricketers who were first recorded in historically important matches played between the 1787 and 1825 seasons.^{[note 1][note 2]} With the single exception of Thomas Lord, whose new ground was opened at the beginning of the 1787 season, players who were first recorded before the beginning of that season are omitted from this list, as they may be found in List of English cricketers (1701–1786).

The principal club throughout the period was MCC, which was founded in 1787, soon after Lord's ground opened. MCC organised the early Gentlemen v Players matches, and most of the games played by occasional XIs such as Charles Lennox's XI, Lord Frederick Beauclerk's XI, George Osbaldeston's XI, and others. Inter-county cricket was rare during the Napoleonic Wars, and there were no formally-constituted county clubs at the time. The main county teams were Berkshire, Essex, Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, Surrey, and Sussex. Towards the end of the period, Cambridge University (CUCC) became prominent, especially through its series of matches against the Cambridge Town Club (CTC), which ultimately formed the basis of the original Cambridgeshire County Cricket Club. In the north of England, cricket was developing through town clubs which became the focal points of the game in their respective counties, especially Nottingham and Sheffield.

The game of cricket in this period had already acquired most of its modern features such as eleven-a-side, the three-stump wicket, the lbw law, and so on, though pitch preparation was rudimentary, and play was largely dictated by the weather. The main difference was in bowling which was still mostly underarm, the key development of the time being the movement towards roundarm which began in the late 18th century, and was gathering pace by 1826.

Note #1: The list is not necessarily exhaustive, as ongoing research is always likely to discover additional information.

Note #2: Inline citations reference the debut or earliest known mention of each player.

Note #3: Offline sources for the first quarter of the 19th century are much less plentiful than for the 18th century. Essentially, the one major source for the years 1801–1825 is Arthur Haygarth's "Scores & Biographies" (Volume 1). While online databases were completely excluded from List of English cricketers (1701–1786), there are some entries in this list which will require a CricketArchive citation, but: ONLY in respect of name, team, and years active; NOTHING statistical.

Note #4: Unless specified as single wicket, a "match" is eleven-a-side, and also historically important.^[1]

Note #5: Where a player's name is preceded by a † symbol, the article is a redirect to this list.

Notes

1. ^ Any match listed in the ACS' Important Match Guide (1981) is historically important, and therefore of the highest standard, whether or not a scorecard might exist. The same applies to numerous matches discovered by researchers since 1981.^[1]
   For further information, see First-class cricket.
2. ^ Surviving match records to 1825 are incomplete, and any statistical compilation of a player's career in that period is based on known data only, which means the compilation must be incomplete, and therefore false if presented as fact. In addition, match scorecards were not always created, or have been lost, and the matches themselves were not always recorded in the press or other media. Scorecard data was not comprehensive: e.g., bowling analyses lacked balls bowled and runs conceded; bowlers were not credited with wickets when the batsman was caught or stumped; in many matches, the means of dismissal were omitted.
3. ^ The Leicestershire and Rutland Cricket Club played several games as a combined team (Leics & Rutland), but was also active under the titles of both Leicester and Leicestershire (and in one minor 1814 match as Rutland). Several of the players in this list were members of teams using more than one of these titles. In that event, they are allocated primarily to Leicestershire & Rutland if one of their teams had that title; secondly to Leicestershire, again if they played under that title; and to Leicester if they did not play in a county match. Those who played only for the combined Nottinghamshire & Leicestershire team in 1803 are noted separately.
