Events
- William Lambert's patron George Osbaldeston struck his name from the MCC members list in anger in 1818. He later repented and tried to restore himself but his application was blocked by his enemy, Lord Frederick Beauclerk. Osbaldeston could no longer play at Lord's and that effectively ended his first-class cricket career.
- With cricket still recovering from the effects of the Napoleonic War, a total of only 3 first-class matches were recorded in 1818:
- 1–2 June — E H Budd's XI v W Ward's XI @ Lord's Cricket Ground[2]
- 22–23 June — MCC v Hampshire @ Lord's Cricket Ground[3]
- 17–19 August — MCC v Hampshire @ Lord's Cricket Ground[4]
Debutants
1818 debutants included:
- Henry T. Lane (MCC)
- George Parry (MCC)
- Lord Strathavon (MCC)
- George Claridge (Hants)
- James Powell (MCC)
