The first recorded instance of a bowler deliberately changing the condition of a ball occurred in 1806, when Beldham, Robinson and Lambert played Bennett, Fennex, and Lord Frederisk Beauclerk in a single-wicket match at Lord's. It was a closely fought match, but Beauclerk's last innings looked to be winning the game. As Pycroft recalls in &lt;u&gt;The Cricket Field:&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;'"His lordship had then lately introduced sawdust when the ground was wet. Beldham, unseen, took a lump of wet dirt and sawdust, and stuck it on the ball, and took the wicket. This, I heard separately from Beldham, Bennett, and also Fennex, who used to mention it as among the wonders of his long life.'"&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Simon Rae, &lt;u&gt;It's Not Cricket: A History of Skulduggery, Sharp Practice and Downright Cheating in the Noble Game&lt;/u&gt; (Faber and Faber, 2001), page 199. Pycroft's account appears at John Pycroft, &lt;u&gt;The Cricket Field: Or the History and Science of Cricket,&lt;/u&gt; American Edition (Mayhew and Baker, Boston, 1859), page 214 - as accessed via Google Books 10/20/2008.&lt;/p&gt;".
