Two London fielders were badly injured by a clash of heads and the original source expressed a concern about their eventual recoveries. Waghorn noted that advertising and reporting of cricket ceased for some years and wondered if that was due to a perception that the sport is dangerous. NOTE: Waghorn's comment about reduced reporting (reduced matches?) needs further examination in the light of the 1720 South Sea Bubble (possible economic impact) and the 1721 Stamp Act (possible impact on publication of sporting news). |
