Muggeridge (Surrey cricketer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muggeridge (Surrey cricketer) refers to a noted English cricketer of the mid-18th century who played for the famous Chertsey Cricket Club and for Surrey. His dates of birth and death and his first name are unknown. He was principally a bowler but we do not know his pace or type.
Muggeridge's career probably began in the aftermath of the Seven Years War and he was certainly active until the 1784 season. He was recorded in five first-class matches after cricket's statistical record began in 1772 but by then he had already been playing for several seasons.
He is first definitely recorded when playing for Surrey v Hampshire at Guildford Bason on 28 July 1774. His last recorded appearance was Chertsey v Coulsdon at Laleham Burway on 23 June 1784.
