    Cricket is a game that can be started at an early age and can go far into a mature age. Can be a good childhood playful activity, or even a competitive sport with equal involvement of boys and girls, women and men.

    From Wikipedia: "Johnny Mullagh (1841-1891), was part of the famous 1868 Aboriginal cricket tour of England. He was a skilful all-rounder, being a right arm bowler and right-handed batsman. "Also known by his traditional name Unaarrimin (he was given the name 'Mullagh' to identify him with his place of birth), he played 47 matches on the 1868 England tour, scoring 1698 runs at an average of around 20 on pitches that were often treacherous. Spectators considered the equal of any English batter. He also bowled 1877 overs, 831 of which were maidens, and took 245 wickets at 10 apiece. If this weren't enough, he would occasionally don wicket-keeping gloves, achieving four stumpings." There's also the Johnny Mullagh Cricket Centre – a museum in country Victoria celebrating the cricket career of this aboriginal sporting hero.

Illustrated front cover from The Queenslander, 29 November 1928

from State Library of Queensland

  • amasterman said:
    Great cover. Looking at scorecards from around that date I suspect the batsman is supposed to be Queensland's Roy Higgins, who was bowled for a duck in the second innings of the MCC's tour match at the Brisbane Exhibition Ground in November 1928.
  • Vesna Verencevic said:
    The cover was illustrated by the artist Garnet Agnew. He was an illustrator for 'The Brisbane Courier and its weekly magazine, 'The Queenslander Illustrated Weekly', creating cover illustrations for these publications between 1926 and 1930. His other mediums included oils, watercolor, and lino-cuts. Agnew painted murals on the walls of the West Coast Hotel in Cooktown. Source: catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/489300
