1771 English cricket season
1771 was the 75th English cricket season since the earliest known important match was played. It is notable for the infamous wide bat affair which resulted in a rule being established within the "Laws of Cricket" whereby the maximum width of the bat has ever since been four and a quarter inches. Also of great historical significance is the Nottingham v Sheffield match in August which evidences both the spread of cricket throughout England and the rise of the northern counties who eventually became cricketing powerhouses.
