Kent vs Sussex
1825-08-01
Edward 'Ned' Wenman, the carpenter and wheelwright from Benenden in Kent, made his important-match debut in a Kent v Sussex fixture in 1825 at the age of 22. He would go on to keep wicket — barehanded, without pads — to Alfred Mynn's express bowling for the great Kent eleven of the 1830s and 1840s, ending his career with 118 catches and 87 stumpings in 146 important matches.
