Mr Chambers' XI vs the Duke of Richmond's XI

"An explosive game took place on Monday, 23 August 1731, when Mr Chambers' XI took on the Duke of Richmond's XI..."

Later on "Sussex" and "Surrey" are mentioned. I assume that the Duke of Richmond's XI would bu "Surrey" and the other team would be "Sussex", but it needs to be made clear. JH (talk page) 16:43, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm still gathering info and haven't got into precise details or structure just yet. The article may end up having to be split. However, the Duke of Richmond's XI was always Sussex and I've clarified that. No one knows who Mr Chambers was or how his team was formed. If not Surrey, he could have been a London or Middlesex patron. ----Jack | ^{talk page} 18:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Violence in Cricket

Hi, I've added a section regarding violence in cricket with information from Dominic Malcom's new book Globalizing Cricket. The section in the book was really about violence in first emerging cricket in general, and not specifically 1726-1763; however, it fit best with the timeline of this page than on the history pages for other years. I hope my contribution will improve the coverage of cricket on Wikipedia! Aependleton29 (talk) 03:29, 11 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
