Flint was a full substitute for Hampshire (in place of whom is not known). Surrey appear to have given up their second innings: this has been treated as a declaration, although the laws of the day did not provide for such an act. All versions of the score have Nyland playing for Hampshire. No player of this name is known, but throughout the career of R.Nyren it is found in reports as a fairly common variant of his surname. Given that R.Nyren was now 55, it has been assumed to be J.Nyren, who appeared in the equivalent match in 1788. White of Andover – assumed not to be the same as W.White. Carpenter of Alresford. See the Supplementary Note on page 277 for more information about this match. (Variant) One newspaper has T.Walker playing in this match, but two others give J.Walker (who had played for Surrey earlier in 1789) and this is accepted. 131
