List of Players cricketers (1806–1840)
The Gentlemen v Players first-class cricket fixture was first played in 1806 and, despite many difficulties in the early years, it had by 1840 become an established annual event in the English cricket calendar. Apart from the years of the two World Wars, it remained so until 1962. The purpose of the fixture was to match the best of the amateur cricketers (the Gentlemen) against the best of the paid professionals (the Players). The table below summarises the full career record in the fixture of everyone who made their debuts for the Players team in the matches played to 1840.
Key[]
- club denotes the player's usual team when he represented the Players (note there were no county clubs until Sussex in 1839).
- debut denotes the year of the player's debut appearance for the Players.
- final denotes the year of the player's final appearance for the Players.
- M denotes the number of matches in which the player represented the Players.
- runs denotes the total number of runs scored by the player in all his matches for the Players.
- HS denotes the highest score made by the player in one innings when batting for the Players (* signifies not out).
- wkts denotes the total number of wickets taken by the player in all his matches for the Players.
- BB denotes the best bowling performance by the player in one innings for the Players (e.g., 3–30 means he took 3 wickets in the innings and conceded 30 runs; to 1840, runs conceded by bowlers are usually unknown, hence "?").
- players are initially listed according to the date of their debut for the Players.
- players in bold were known amateurs who represented the Players as "given men".
