1794 English cricket season
Berkshire had a strong county team in the 1794 English cricket season.
Details of eighteen matches are known, but few were historically important.[note 1]
Berkshire
Berkshire lost twice to MCC in July.[2] They recovered to win a third match by 7 runs,[3] and then a fourth by 6 wickets.[3] At the end of August, Berkshire defeated Kent by 49 runs.[4]
Notes
- ^ Any match listed in the ACS' Important Match Guide (1981) is historically important, and therefore of the highest standard, whether or not a scorecard might exist. The same applies to numerous matches discovered by researchers since 1981.[1]
