1800 English cricket season
Cricket formats first-class and single wicket
Mezzotint by Dunkarton & Ward after W. R. Bigg, The Soldier's Widow, dated 1800. Note the two cricket bats on the left.

The 1800 English cricket season is one of the more difficult years for analysis because of several matches involving prominent town clubs like Rochester, Woolwich, Homerton, Richmond, Storrington, Montpelier and Thames Ditton. All of these were marginal in terms of important status.
