1775 English cricket season
In the 1775 English cricket season, John Small scored the sport's first known century in a senior match. He also featured in the single wicket contest which precipitated the addition of the third stump in the wickets. Details of 16 matches are known.

Single wicket
Demands for the third stump were voiced after a single wicket match at the Artillery Ground in May. Lumpy Stevens beat John Small at least three times, only for the ball to pass through the wicket, which at that time still consisted of two uprights and a crosspiece, without disturbing it. Although the petition was granted soon afterwards, research has discovered that the introduction of the third stump in practice was gradual, and the two stump wicket did continue for a number of years yet.Other events
The earliest known reference to cricket in Huntingdonshire, always a minor county, was in 1775.Two "alphabetical matches" were organised by the Duke of Dorset, but no post-match reports have been found. The first was on the Artillery Ground on 29 May, the second two days later on Moulsey Hurst.
Monday, 29 May. There was a game at Old Field in Bray between the Maidenhead and Risborough clubs with Lumpy Stevens assisting the former, while a player called Briggs was a given man for Risborough. This is the first reference found that is specific to the Maidenhead Club at Old Field, Bray. This club shortly became synonymous with Berkshire as a county team.
On 10 and 11 July, a combined London & Kent played Coulsdon on the Artillery Ground. The result is unknown.
Sussex played Coulsdon on 19 and 26 July at Smitham Bottom and Henfield Common respectively. Coulsdon won the first match; the result of the second is unknown. Both matches were advertised in the Sussex Weekly Advertiser.
A game on Thursday, 20 July was called "London v Surrey" but the stake was only £10 a side.
