List of English cricketers (1787–1825)
Following on from List of English cricketers (1598–1787), this is a list of people who are known to have been involved in the historical development of cricket between the 1787 and 1825 seasons in England. With the single exception of Thomas Lord, it excludes everyone named in the previous list. Also, as it covers a relatively short timespan of 39 seasons, this list is presented alphabetically by surname.
In 1787, the opening of the original Lord's ground, and the formation of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) soon afterwards, marked a watershed in the sport's history. The endpoint is in 1825 because of the catastrophic fire on the night of 28 July that year. The Lord's Pavilion was burned down, and a massive collection of records and archives, including unique scorecards, destroyed.[1]
Cricket in this period had acquired most of its modern features such as eleven-a-side matches, the three-stump wicket, and the lbw law, although pitch preparation was rudimentary, and play was largely dictated by the weather. The main difference was in bowling which was still done using an underarm action. The key development of the period to 1825 was the movement towards roundarm bowling.
The principal club since its foundation in 1787 was MCC, which organised the early Gentlemen v Players matches, and most of the games played by occasional XIs such as those led by Colonel Charles Lennox, Lord Frederick Beauclerk, George Osbaldeston, and others. Inter-county cricket was rare during the Napoleonic Wars, and there were no formally constituted county clubs at the time, but the main centres at county level were Berkshire, Essex, Hampshire, Kent, Middlesex, Surrey, and Sussex. Towards the end of the period, Cambridge University became prominent, especially through its series of matches against the Cambridge Town 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 key historical sources for this period are Arthur Haygarth's Scores & Biographies, Volume 1 (1744–1826) (published in 1862), Samuel Britcher's annual Grand Matches series (1790 to 1805), and A Guide to Important Cricket Matches Played in the British Isles, 1709–1863, published in 1981 by The Association of Cricket Statisticians and Historians (ACS).
Unlike the 1598–1787 list, online databases are not excluded from this work, but the scope remains historical, and NOT statistical. As in the previous list, a "match" is eleven-a-side, and also considered important/top-class, unless it is specified as single wicket, or another form.[note 1]

Notes
- ^ Some eleven-a-side matches played from 1772 to 1863 have been rated "first-class" by certain sources.[2] However, the term only came into common use around 1864, when overarm bowling was legalised. It was formally defined as a standard by a meeting at Lord's, in May 1894, of Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) and the county clubs which were then competing in the County Championship. The ruling was effective from the beginning of the 1895 season, but pre-1895 matches of the same standard have no official definition of status because the ruling is not retrospective.[3] Matches of a similar standard since the beginning of the 1864 season are generally considered to have an unofficial first-class status.[4] Pre-1864 matches which are included in the ACS' "Important Match Guide" may generally be regarded as top-class or, at least, historically significant.[5] For further information, see First-class cricket.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x These are the known seasons in which the player was active in important/top-class matches.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x Players in this period tended to appear for numerous ad hoc teams, including England (i.e., the "rest" of England). The clubs or counties named here, if any, are those with which he was primarily associated.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x Inline citations reference the debut or earliest known mention of each player.
- ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x Note that surviving match records to 1825 are incomplete, and any statistical compilation of a player's career in that period is based on known data. 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 cards, the means of dismissal were omitted.
- ^ CricketArchive previously listed Gouldstone under the name Goldstone.[143] A played named Goldswain was a contemporary who played other matches for teams in Berkshire[144] and there has been some suggestion that they are the same man.
- ^ Hopper's forename may have been James or John, although he is identified by the initial G in the 1907 History of Kent County Cricket Club. The same source identifies him as coming from Lenham. Both CricInfo and CricketArchive identify him only as J Hopper.[180][181][182]
- ^ Biographical details are limited and Razell's surname may have been spelled Razzell. CricketArchive lists him as being born in 1787 and dying at Dorking in 1851, although the name is common in the Dorking area at the time Razell lived and these dates are uncertain. Kent sources suggest that he played cricket for East Kent and was a member of the Penenden Heath club in the early 19th century, possibly moving to Surrey after 1815.
