Tuesday 10 June 1902.

The Fenners Ground, Cambridge University.

The Australians vs Cambridge University.

A bearded, greying batsman walks out to join wicket keeper Hanson Carter. Dr Roland James (Rowley) Pope is a former Test cricketer, playing his last 1st class game, more than seventeen years after appearing in his only Test Match.

A RETURN TO 1ST CLASS CRICKET.

It has been a diluted English summer filled with frequent rain showers interspersed with even heavier rain. The cold weather has seeped into the Australians' bones. Joe Darling and Bill Howell are in London, stricken with influenza. Monty Noble tries to recover in Brighton. Jack Saunders has quinsy and Dr Pope's instructions are that he be confined to bed.
