About Middlesex county cricket teams

Until 1863, the Middlesex county cricket team, always known as Middlesex, was organised by individual patrons and other groups. The team has been traced back to 1729, although for long periods in the 18th century, the county was secondary to the London Cricket Club which played at the Artillery Ground. Middlesex played at various grounds throughout what is now the Greater London area. Venues in Islington and Uxbridge were often used, but some "home" matches were played on Kennington Common or in Berkshire.
