He is known to have played for Woolwich Cricket Club in a match in 1806 against MCC at Lord's Old Ground and for a 23-man Kent side in an odds match[b] in 1807 against an England side[c] at Penenden Heath.[1] William Ayling, who was possibly his brother, played in both of these matches on the same side.[1][2]
Notes
edit- ^ CricketArchive is the only source which identifies the two Aylings as brothers.[1][2]
- ^ An odds match is one in which one side has more players than the other, the aim being to even the chances of victory to an extent.
- ^ During the time Ayling played, England sides were not representative of the country. Instead, they were sides composed of players from a range of locations brought together to play against another side.[5]
