Florence had been a lady's companion and music teacher at a house, Rupertswood, where Bligh and the amateur gentlemen tourists, had stayed during his tour of Australia.

Charles Bannerman of Australia was the first batsman to score a century in Test Cricket.  In the first ever test match in the history of cricket played between Australia and England at Melbourne Cricket Ground from 15th to 19th March 1877, Bannerman scored 165 runs in 285 minutes with the help of 18 fours in the first innings.  He has scored 69.6 % runs of Australia's first innings total of 245 runs, which is still a record in test cricket.\nHe was retired hurt.

Hi,\n\nThe Ashes is a Test cricket series, played between England and Australia - it is international cricket's oldest and most celebrated rivalry dating back to 1882. It is currently played at approximately two yearly intervals, alternately in England and Australia. The Ashes are "held" by the country which last won a series and to "regain" them the other country must win more Test matches in a series than the country that "holds" them. If a series is "drawn" then the country holding the Ashes retains them. The last Ashes series was played in England in 2005 when England regained The Ashes after a gap of 16 years by winning the series 2-1. The next Ashes series will be in Australia in 2006-07 and the next series in England will be in 2009.\n\nThe series is named after a satirical obituary published in The Sporting Times in 1882 following the match at The Oval, in which Australia beat England in England for the first time. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia. The English media dubbed the next English tour, to Australia (1882-83) as the quest to regain The Ashes.\n\nA small terracotta urn was presented to the England captain Ivo Bligh by a group of Melbourne women at some point during the 1882-83 tour. The contents of the urn are reputed to be the ashes of an item of cricket equipment, possibly a bail, ball or stump. The urn is not used as a trophy for the Ashes series, and whichever side "holds" the Ashes, the urn normally remains in the MCC Museum at Lord's because of its age and fragility.[1] Since the 1998-99 Ashes series, a Waterford crystal trophy has been presented to the winners.\n\nRead it all in the link in sources below\n\nHTH

Kapil Dev.  He carried the bowling for years, playing on terrible pitches for a seamer and still took over 300 wickets.  He could bat a bit too.  What a player.

IT IS 99.94 VOW ! GREAT\n\n\nSir Donald George Bradman was unquestionably the greatest batsman of all time. This veritable run machine hada tally of 29 centuries from only 52 Tests, which even in this era of non-stop cricket remains the second-highest number of Test hundreds scored by any player. His highest test score was 334 against England at Leeds in 1930, of which he made 309 in a single day.\n\nHe concluded his Test career in 1948, only four runs short of the 7000 run-mark and a Test batting average of 100 (his final average was 99.94). He was knighted in 1949 and even after his demise in 2001; he remains cricket's best-known and most revered personality.
