1790 English cricket season

The 1790 English cricket season was a successful one for Hampshire who won all three of their known matches, two against England, and one against Kent. Samuel Britcher, the MCC scorer, began his annual publication (to 1805) of A Complete List of all the Grand Matches of Cricket that have been Played, a compilation of match scorecards. His 1790 edition features fourteen scorecards, including six from matches played at Lord's Old Ground, the MCC venue. Details of 22 matches are known, but few were important.
