Famous Cricketers No 64 - Jas. Lillywhite, Jun.

and one against New South Wales. These two Tests were to be Lillywhite’s only appearances at this level. Much has been written about the first Test match of all. It was won by Australia by a mere 45 runs, curiously the same margin of victory as the Centenary Test one hundred years later. England won the second match by four wickets and Lillywhite took 4-70 in Australia’s second innings. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 193.

He took only 38 first-class wickets, his best bowling performance being 7-71 against Lancashire at Hove. Own Team O M R W Opp Ct Total Total 196.
