- 1788 English cricket season
In the 1788 English cricket season, MCC became the game's lawgiver.
"Fri 30 May". A revised set of Laws was issued by the "Cricket Club at Marylebone", formerly the White Conduit Club. This action confirmed MCC as the body in sole charge of the Laws.
Matches
Leading fielders
Note that many scorecards in the 18th century are unknown or have missing details and so the totals are of the "known" catches and stumpings only. Stumpings were not always recorded as such and sometimes the name of the wicket-keeper was not given. Generally, a catch was given the same status as "bowled" with credit being awarded to the fielder only and not the bowler. There is never a record of "caught and bowled": the bowler would be credited with the catch, not with the wicket.
