Highlights from these matches: •In the game at Sydney in February 1912, Syd Gregory carried his bat for 186* in NSW’s second innings of 403. Jack Hobbs took 4-25 in this innings, unexpectedly outbowling his opening partner Wilfred Rhodes (0-45), who however made up for it by scoring 119 and 109 in MCC’s two innings. •In the simultaneous match at the Hurlingham club in Buenos Aires, MCC’s numbers 10 and 11 Rockley Wilson (67*) and Eric Hatfeild (39) added 106 for the last wicket, in an all-out total of 186. One of their team-mates in this game was Morice Bird, veteran of Reigate 1909. •At Wellington in February 1923, the top-score in MCC’s only innings was 130 by New Zealander Tom Lowry, making his maiden first-class century when playing against the country he was later to captain.
