Leading Batsmen
Note that many scorecards in the 18th century are unknown or have missing details and so it is impossible to provide a complete analysis of batting performances: e.g., the missing not outs prevent computation of batting averages. The "runs scored" are in fact the runs known.
With few matches being played, only six batsmen exceeded 150 runs:
- Tom Walker – 239
- Jack Small – 235
- John Wells – 231
- Robert Robinson – 227
- John Hammond – 192
- William Beldham – 179

Famous quotes containing the word leading:
“The loneliest feeling in the world is when you think you are leading the parade and turn to find that no one is following you. No president who badly misguesses public opinion will last very long.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
