Cricket. Australia 1947
A detached autograph album leaf 135 x 85 mm signed in ink by the Australian team for the Fourth Test match against England in Adelaide 31 January and 1 3-6 February 1947. The signatures are Bradman Captain Dooland Freer 12th man M.R. Harvey Hassett Ian Johnson Lindwall McCool Miller Morris Tallon and Toshack
Apart from two tiny filing holes along the top edge away from the signatures the leaf is in excellent condition. Offered together with the official 'Fourth Test Illustrated Souvenir Programme and Score Sheet. Adelaide Oval 1947' cover title and a facsimile 'MCC Tour in Australia & New Zealand 1946-47' signature sheet 205 x 140 mm. The match summary in Webster supplies some interesting statistics: Compton and Morris provided the first instance of two batsmen scoring centuries in each innings in the same Test; Lindwall ended the England first innings with three wickets in four balls; Bradman scored a duck in his first innings and Evans batted for 95 minutes in the second innings before scoring his first run a record for all first-class cricket. 'Neil Harvey rated his oldest brother Mervyn as "the best" cricketer' of all six Harvey brothers four of whom played first-class cricket. The war interrupted his promising career and this match was his Test debut; 'he scored 12 and 31 partnering Arthur Morris in a 116 opening stand but Australia was over-supplied with openers and it remained his solitary Test' Oxford Companion to Australian Cricket. The match was drawn. unknown

Hack's instructions were to travel by sea to Port Lincoln overland to Streaky Bay then travel 'as nearly due north as the features of the country will allow . as far as the northern boundary of this province. Every endeavour is to be made to conciliate and win the goodwill of such natives as may be encountered during the journey; and you are to urge upon each individual of the party the great desirability of impressing the aborigines favourably towards Europeans by keeping good faith with them and by not offending against their natural habits and prejudices'. The northerly route in fact commenced about 40 miles east of Streaky Bay; the return route from their furthest north was basically south-east around the bottom of Lake Gairdner to Port Augusta. The bulk of the paper comprises various progress reports from Hack during the course of the expedition from June to September accompanied by the two maps plus two lengthy summary reports after the event. The second paper comprises a report from Harris the surveyor on the expedition and a detailed route map of the entire area covered. It includes the tracks of Warburton who also conducted 'his first notable journey in 1857 to the dry country south and west of Lake Gairdner. Hack did not follow Warburton's tracks but rather supplemented and extended his examinations' Feeken Feeken and Spate. South Australian Parliamentary Papers Number 156 and Number 189 of 1857-58.

DARLING Joseph 1870 1946: SA and Australia
An albumen paper cabinet photograph image size approximately 150x100mm laid down on the blind-stamped card of H. Parker Rolfe of Philadelphia; it dates from the short visit to America made on the homeward journey of the 1896 Australian touring team to England
It is a posed outdoor shot of the batsman at the crease; it is inscribed 'yours sincerely' and signed in ink in the bottom right-hand corner of the image. The surface of the image is slightly scuffed and the mount has a trifling surface chip; overall it is in excellent condition. Joe Darling 'was one of Australia's finest batsmen and Test captains'; he was captain in 21 of his 34 Test matches. This was his first of four successive tours of England; on each of them he scored over 1000 runs usually as an opener. He was captain of the last three tours which included the Ashes-winning 1899 and 1902 sides; under his captaincy in England his teams played 107 first-class matches losing only eight. Information from Martin-Jenkins 1995 and OCAC 1996. unknown
