History[edit]

Main articles: History of the England cricket team to

1939 and History of the England cricket team from 1945

The All-England Eleven in 1846

The first recorded incidence of a team with a claim to

represent England comes from 9 July 1739 when an "All-

England" team, which consisted of 11 gentlemen from any

part of England exclusive of Kent, played against "the

Unconquerable County" of Kent and lost by a margin of

"very few notches".[13] Such matches were repeated on

numerous occasions for the best part of a century.

In 1846 William Clarke formed the All-England Eleven.

This team eventually competed against a United All-England

Eleven with annual matches occurring between 1847 and

1856. These matches were arguably the most important

contest of the English season if judged by the quality of the

players.
