Surrey County Cricket Club in 2005 are playing their cricket in the First Division of the County Championship and the Second Division of the totesport League. The 2004 season was a disappointment for Surrey under the captaincy of Jonathan Batty,who was replaced by Mark Butcher for 2005. However,Butcher was out for most of the season due to an injury to his left wrist,leaving Mark Ramprakash as interim captain –one of the few,maybe the only,man to captain both Surrey and their arch-rivals Middlesex.

Bangladesh A toured England in July and August 2005 for first class and List A cricket matches against English domestic teams. The team struggled in the first class matches,where they drew two and lost three matches,and only looked like having a chance of winning in the last match against Kent. The one-day series went slightly better,with Bangladesh A winning two,losing one and abandoning a fourth,but for a second string national team against mainly second elevens from English domestic cricket,it was a highly disappointing tour.

In cricket,a hat-trick occurs when a bowler takes three wickets. The deliveries may be interrupted by an over bowled by another bowler from the other end of the pitch or the other team's innings,but must be three consecutive deliveries by the individual bowler in the same match. Only wickets attributed to the bowler count towards a hat-trick;run outs do not count,although they can contribute towards a so-called team hat-trick,which is ostensibly a normal hat-trick except that the three successive deliveries can be wickets from any bowler in the team and with any mode of dismissal.
Julian Howard Shackleton is a former English cricketer. Shackleton was a right-handed batsman who bowled right-arm medium pace.
The 1885 season was an annus horribilis for Somerset County Cricket Club. Captained by Ted Sainsbury,who had taken over from Stephen Newton,captain for the previous three seasons,they played six first-class cricket matches. Somerset's only win of the season came in their first match;all the other were lost. Two of the losses,those away against Gloucestershire and Surrey,number among the county's ten heaviest defeats. Somerset were unable to field a full team for their fourth match,which coupled with their poor results and lack of fixtures resulted in the club being stripped of its first-class status at the end of the season.
