Bowlers for England: Dorset and Wheeler; for Surrey: Stevens and Wood. The sources give details of how players were dismissed, but not by whom. Teams are listed by social status: nobility, gentry, then ‘other ranks’. Lewis in the Surrey side is assumed to be M.Lewis, whom a report in the Hampshire Chronicle includes in the Surrey team for a match against Hambledon Town in August, with ‘Lewis, Esq’ down to play for Hambledon (thus contradicting SB, which gives the Lewises the other way round). (Variant) RM also gives each player’s means of dismissal (bowled, caught, run out) for this match, but not by whom the dismissal was effected. It differs in some details from the LlEP version above and is given for all 11 in each innings, i.e. no not outs, so the RM score is less reliable and LlEP’s identification of Pattenden as Thomas rather than William is also preferred. 37
