Mills (Surrey cricketer) refers to a noted English cricketer of the mid-18th century who played for the famous Chertsey Cricket Club and for Surrey. He was principally a bowler.
Mills' career probably began in the aftermath of the Seven Years War and he was certainly active until the 1781 season. He was recorded in 10 first-class matches after cricket's statistical record began in 1772 but by then it is believed he had already been playing for several seasons.
Mills played for All-England teams as well as for Surrey.
Famous quotes containing the word mills:
“They give us a pair of cloth shorts twice a year for all our clothing. When we work in the sugar mills and catch our finger in the millstone, they cut off our hand; when we try to run away, they cut off our leg: both things have happened to me. It is at this price that you eat sugar in Europe.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
