1732 English cricket season


The 1732 English cricket season was the 36th cricket season since the earliest recorded eleven-aside match was played. Details have survived of 12 matches.
Most of the matches for which records survive feature London Cricket Club. Their main ground, the Artillery Ground in Finsbury, was used for four matches and its groundsman, Mr Jones, was mentioned in one newspaper report. Cricket at this time was still played with two stumps and a bat shaped like a hockey stick, which was the ideal implement for dealing with the rolled ball.
