Miscellaneous


Tangents this week include: The AIF team becoming the nucleus of the post-war Australian test team. The change in leadership from Kelleway to Collins. The pre-war battle between the Australian administrators and players. The perilous state of pre-war cricket finances. The Pro/Gent origins of the North/South divide in England. Why I want to see some twisters and shooters on a sticky dog.Corrections: Scarborough started in 1876, not the 1850s. It probably wasn’t Senator Pearce there, he’s G Pearce, not S Pearce. He was also defence minister, not foreign minister.
