He could not be the second person because there are atleast two previous instances :

1. MCC v Kent 1857 2. Smokers v Non smoekers 1886-7

I don't have a reference book, so don't know whether there are any others. Tintin 13:57, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

I shouldn't have believed his Cricinfo page! Per the 2003 Wisden, Wright was the fourth. George "Farmer" Bennett was the second (Kent v Sussex 1872. I'll change the article, jguk 17:31, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Err... I knew it off the top of the head because I made a similar error about Scotton in the Smokers v Non smokers (but I did confess that I was not sure!) and User:Loganberry corrected it Tintin 17:45, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
