The 1832 Lord's season was the most disrupted of the early Victorian period. London's first major cholera epidemic — which killed around 6,500 in the city between February and November — caused the cancellation of nearly half the scheduled fixtures. Crowd attendance at the matches that did take place was a fraction of normal. The season is the clearest measure of the impact of public-health crises on early Victorian cricket.
