I have lived to the age of seventy-one (hence the title of this work), and until some six months ago the writing of my reminiscences never occurred to me. Indeed had it not been for the fact of my meeting with an old friend—almost accidentally the ensuing pages would never have been written. Like most cricketers, I have unfortunately kept comparatively few records of my long career. Luckily I am possessed of an excellent memory, and with this and the aid of many an old volume kindly lent to me by various gentlemen I have been able to complete my somewhat difficult task. I have given a short sketch of the state of the national game at the time of my birth; how I learnt both batting and bowling when a boy ; have described my connection with Clarke’s old All England Eleven, and afterwards with the United; Vlii PREFACE. my visit with the first team to America in 1859; with Stephenson’s team to Australia in 1861, and with Parr’s more famous one in 1863; have given an account of my seven years’ residence in the Antipodes, and the close of my career after my return to England in 1871.

  • 14 May: CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY V AJ WEBBE
    1 January: AUSTRALIA v ENGLAND (Second Test) (See scorecard at Cricket Archive, www.cricketarchive.co.uk/Archive/Scorecards/4/4921.html) Day 1 (report from Monday 3 January) Melbourne, Jan. 1 The second of the five test matches between Mr Stoddart’s team and All Australia began here to-day under the pleasantest conditions. Large at the start, the attendance went on increasing, till late in the afternoon there were 24,000 people on the ground. It was feared at first that owing to a small abscess in the throat Ranjitsinhji would have to stand out of the England eleven. However, after consulting a doctor, he found himself able to play, so Stoddart made way for him. The other player left out was Board. With Stoddart away Maclaren captained the side. Trott won the toss, and such a fine start was made by Australia that at the end of the day 283 runs had been scored for the loss of only three wickets. McLeod and Darling opened the innings to the bowling of Richardson and Hirst. The early batting was slow and marked by great caution. Richardson bowled four maiden overs in succession and the fielding was superb. With the total at 17, Briggs went on in place of Richardson, off whom only one run had been made. Darling scored eight in Briggs’s first over, and then, at 25, Richardson bowled at Hirst’s end. Darling did nearly all the hitting, getting 23 runs out of the first 27. As the game proceeded, the play became freer in character, Darling’s cutting being very clean and neat.

  • John Wisden's Cricketer's Almanack
    THE TIMES REPORTS, 1894 Tuesday 2 January, page 9: CRICKET “John Wisden’s Cricketer’s Almanack” has now reached its 31st edition, and the issue for 1894 numbers over 470 pages. It contains a faithful record of last season’s doings under the following headings: - The Leading Counties in 1893, the Australians in England and in America, M.C.C. and Ground, I Zingari, the Universities, Gentlemen v Players, North v South, Second Class and Minor Counties, Public Schools, Amateur and Professional Batting and Bowling Averages, Innings of 500 runs and upwards, Individual Scores of three figures, Lord Hawke’s Team in India and others. “Five All-round Cricketers” forms the title of the frontispiece, which gives excellent likenesses of Mr F S Jackson, Mr G Giffen, Mr G H S Trott, Alec Hearne and E Wainwright. An interesting feature of the book is a chapter on the “Follow-on” – a question which is at present occupying the attention of cricketers generally. Mr S H Pardon, the editor, having invited the opinions of many well-known men on the point, remarks, in introducing these, that “little attention had been given to the matter in England until the occasion of the Oxford and Cambridge match in July, when Oxford’s attempt to secure a follow-on and Mr C M Wells’s successful endeavours to frustrate their intentions set all cricketing England talking on the subject.” The majority of opinions (including that of Dr E M Grace) are in favour of the matter being left to the option of the side which has the lead of 80 runs.
