Edward 'E.H.' Budd's First Major Century — MCC v Middlesex, August 1806
MCC vs Middlesex
1806-08-25
On 25 August 1806 Edward Hayward Budd — eighteen years old and four years into his major-match career — scored 110 for the MCC against Middlesex at Lord's. It was his first major century, and the start of a thirty-year career as the most powerful straight hitter of the underarm era. Budd would, in the 1820s, regularly hit balls clear out of the Lord's ground.
