Norfolk teams played six matches which have been classified as first-class cricket during the early 19th century.
[a] It is generally accepted that the match was actually organised by Holt Cricket Club with three guest players - E. H. Budd, Felix Ladbroke and Thomas Vigne - added to the side.
[5] William Ward, playing for MCC, scored 278 runs in the first innings of the match, batting over three days.
[d][10][8] All five were against Yorkshire sides, essentially teams organised by Sheffield Cricket Club.
[f] The County Club had largely ceased to operate by 1848, although matches continued to be played using the name Norfolk.
