Leading Bowlers
Note that the wickets credited to an 18th century bowler were only those where he bowled the batsman out. The bowler was not credited with the wickets of batsmen who were caught out, even if it was "caught and bowled". In addition, the runs conceded by each bowler were not recorded so no analyses or averages can be computed.
Thomas Boxall with 44 wickets was the outstanding bowler of the 1793 season
Other good performances came from Thomas Lord with 27 wickets; Charles Cumberland 25; Tom Walker 25; Hampton 20; Richard Purchase 18; Littler 14; John Boorman 13; David Harris 13; Timber 13
