Boys cricket team ca. 1895

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The earliest evidence of cricket being played in Queensland is in 1857, two years prior to separation from New South Wales and statehood. A match between Brisbane and Ipswich was held in 1859 while in 1860 a Toowoomba team played Dalby. By 1862 there were also teams in Warwick, Maryborough, Gayndah, Gympie, Rockhampton, and the Lockyer Valley. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queensland_cricket_team#:~:text=Fre....

  Top right I see a house with quoins, and then an unusual gable end with tiles on it? Maybe this pair of houses on Newtown Road in Streetview, meaning the team are at the wall on the Western side of the grounds of the college.

• John Spooner said:

  Several pairs of sock keeper-uppers on view. The poor lad on the extreme left looks as if he could do with a pair.

• John A. Coffey said:

  Wikipedia tells us the De La Salle Club was formed in 1929 wonder is this a school team? The club won their first Senior County Hurling in 2008.

Woolloongabba Cricket Ground, Brisbane, 1906

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Woolloongabba Cricket Ground, aka THE GABBA, was established in 1895, with a capacity of 37,000, lush grassy banks, and beautiful Moreton Bay fig trees for shade. The first match was played on 19 December 1896 between Parliament and The Press, resulting in a tie with 61 runs each. The first Test Match was on 27 November 1931 against South Africa. There have been many memorable moments at the Gabba over the years. One of the most significant was the famous 1960 Tied Test between Australia and the West Indies played 9-14 December in which Richie Benaud was a stand-out. The grass and fig trees of the original Gabba ground have sadly been replaced by modern concrete stands and facilities – capacity has also been increased to 42,000. It is now officially known as the Brisbane Cricket Ground, but nostalgic cricket fans continue to call it The Gabba. Source: kangaroopointhistory.com.au/places/the-gabba-woolloongabb...
