Famous Cricketers No 76 - J.N.Crawford

against Victoria was a brilliant innings and also the first recorded on the Adelaide Oval scoreboard. As a reward he received a leather travelling bag, a silver mounted umbrella, a gold signet ring, and a fountain pen, each inscribed from members’ donations. His second hundred was for an Australian XI against the MCC. The season saw South Australia lose all five matches. Crawford’s bowling was less effective with his 21 wickets costing 38 runs apiece but again he received a special award in recognition of being the first to post five wickets in an innings on the Oval scoreboard.
