First-Class Match Scores 1887-1904 (published by the ACS) James Lillywhite’s Cricketers’ Annual (Red Lillywhite) (various years) Sussex County Cricket Club Handbooks (various years) John Wisden’s Cricketers’ Almanack (various years) Many of the above include accounts of the 1902 Old Trafford Test Match. Of these, most give a fair and balanced account even if there are wide variations as to facts. One or two get themselves into something of a tangle. One distinguished author will have it that Lilley was caught off the last ball of Trumble’s over and, as the batsmen had crossed, Rhodes did not face another ball. None of the contemporary accounts seem to agree with him. Newspapers & Periodicals Cricket Cricket Field Cricketer Eastbourne Chronicle 57
