In England the products of the public schools and universities came to control the game via the M.C.C., county administrations and on-field captaincy.

• Bernard Whimpress, a postgraduate student at the Flinders University of South Australia, is researching a thesis, provisionally titled ‘Few and far between: a history of Aborigines and Australian cricket’. In this he will explore whether the low levels of Aboriginal participation in cricket were due to racial discrimination, lack of opportunity or possibly even a disinclination to play on the part of Aborigines.
