The Englishmen I remember were Pooley, Jupp, Selby, Emmett and perhaps Shrewsbury and Lilywhite [sic]. I especially remember Emmett as a fast left hand bowler with a fine easy delivery, and Pooley was the first man to show us how to take a ball off the middle stump and played between his legs. We were schoolboys then and tried to bat and bowl like them. I remember Jupp and Pooley played a long partnership innings here; and two of our schoolboys who used to play well together took the names of Jupp and Pooley. These days they are Harry Smallbone, bank manager in Auckland, and Billy Tucker, watchmaker in Wellington, and these names stuck to them long after they left school. |
