The early history of Australian Cricket seems veiled in darkness and only the barest facts emerge. In at- tempting to prepare a sketch of the game in the Anti- podes I have had a good deal of difficulty in uncarthing much about it. To the cricket enthusiast, even' bare facts are interesting. But, for the average reader, one wants to clathe them with personal interest, and a few anecdotes of happenings in cricket or to cricketers have a way of investing with interest what otherwise might prove to be a bald recital of matches won and lost, with an occasional note of 'a century or a good bowling an- alysis.
