Perry (first name and dates unknown) was an English cricketer who played for Surrey during the 1750s. He was possibly related to the player called Perry who, in 1726, took part with Piper of Hampton in the earliest known single wicket contest. ==Career== The first mention of Perry is when he played for Surrey against Kent at Dartford Brent on Friday, 6 July 1750.〔 Subsequently, he played in a single wicket match at the Artillery Ground on Monday, 10 September 1745, for Tom Faulkner's Five against Stephen Dingate's Five.〔G B Buckley, ''Fresh Light on 18th Century Cricket'', Cotterell, 1935〕 He then played for All-England against Kent in the two matches at the Artillery Ground in May 1751.〔F S Ashley-Cooper, ''At the Sign of the Wicket: Cricket 1742-1751'', ''Cricket'' Magazine, 1900〕 On Monday, 3 June 1751, Perry played in a "fives" match for Kent against Surrey. He must have been adept at single wicket as he was involved in further contests in 1754 and 1755. The only other mention of him was in 1752 when he was a given man playing for Westminster against Addington.〔 As Perry had established his reputation by 1750, he must have been active for some years previously. His career probably spanned the 1740s and 1750s when very few players were mentioned by name in contemporary reports. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perry (Surrey cricketer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
