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 Lord was the leading bowler in 1794 with 44 wickets, just ahead of Tom Walker with 42
Other good performances were by David Harris with 38; Thomas Boxall 31; Hampton 24; John Wells 21; William Fennex 19; William Beldham 17; Gates 17; Timber 17; Richard Purchase 14; John Hammond 13

Miss that which one unworthier may attain,
And die with grieving.”
