}}The 1729 English cricket season was the 33rd cricket season since the earliest recorded eleven-aside match was played. Details have survived of six matches, the earliest known innings victory is believed to have happened and the earliest known surviving cricket bat dates from the season. Recorded matches Records of the following matches exist:[1][2] | Date | Teams | Venue | Result | Source | | 24 June | Kent v Sussex | Walworth Common | result unknown | [3] | | The match was for fifty pounds per side with a play or pay rule agreed. It is the earliest match featuring a team that is expressly called Sussex, though teams raised by patrons in earlier seasons are understood to have been composed mainly of Sussex players. Not recorded by CricketArchive. | | 30 July | Dartford v London | Dartford Brent | result unknown | [3] | | The teams were described as "the Gentlemen of Dartford and London". The stake was £50. Not recorded by CricketArchive. | | 5 August | London v Dartford | Kennington Common | Dartford won | [4] | | Described thus: "a great Cricket Match at Kennington Common between the Londoners and the Dartford men, for a considerable Sum of Money, Wager and Betts, and the latter beat the former very much".[5] | | 26 August | Surrey v Kent | Farnham | result unknown | [5] | | The Daily Journal on 26 August reported that a match would be played same day near Farnham between "Mr Steed of Kent and his Company, against the best Players in the County of Surrey".[5] Not recorded by CricketArchive. | | 28 August | Edwin Stead's XI v Sir William Gage's XI | Penshurst Park | Sir William Gage's XI won | [6][7] | | Stead v Gage was alternatively titled Kent (Stead's XI) v Sussex, Surrey & Hampshire (Gage's XI). It was an 11-a-side match played for 100 guineas with "some thousands" watching.[6] The match seems to have resulted in the earliest known innings victory as Gage's XI "got (within three) in one hand, as the former did in two hands, so the Kentish men threw it up". The report added that Thomas Waymark, "a groom of the 2nd Duke of Richmond signalised himself by extraordinary agility and dexterity".[6] The report then states that Waymark "turned the scale of victory, which for some years past has been generally on the Kentish side".[6] | | September | Hampshire, Surrey & Sussex v Kent | The Downs, Lewes | result unknown | [6] | | A report dated 13 September says that: "the great match played at Penshurst will be played again in Sussex".[6] | |
In several sources, a Gentlemen of Middlesex v Gentlemen of London match is listed as due to take place in Islington on 5 August 1728.[7][6][8][9] Research suggests that this match may have been played in 1729.[10] Other eventsA bat which belonged to John Chitty of Knaphill in Surrey which is dated 1729 is the oldest known cricket bat. It is on display in the Pavilion at The Oval.[11] Samuel Johnson attended the University of Oxford from October 1728 until the following summer and later told James Boswell that cricket matches were played there. Boswell mentioned this in his Life of Samuel Johnson.[12]A local game in Gloucester on Monday, 22 September is the earliest known reference to cricket in Gloucestershire.[11] First mentionsClubs and teams- Gentlemen of London[6]
