1743 English cricket season

Several outstanding players were first named by sources in the 1743 English cricket season. The increasing popularity of single wicket is evident in a three-a-side match which was publicised as a contest between the "best six players in England", and reportedly drew a crowd of over 10,000 into the Artillery Ground. Other events included a revolutionary new ball design. Details of 24 matches are known.
