The 'Coronation Match' — Gentlemen Concede to Players, Lord's, July 1821
Gentlemen vs Players
1821-07-24
Billed in honour of George IV's accession, the so-called 'Coronation Match' between the Gentlemen and the Players at Lord's in July 1821 ended in farce when the Gentlemen, having been bowled out for 60 and watching the Players cruise to 270 for 6 (Thomas Beagley made 113 not out, the first century in the fixture's history), simply gave up and conceded defeat midway through the second day.
