The Victoria Cricket Eleven

The Victoria Eleven cricket team at Melbourne prior to their match against South Australia, circa January 1897. Left to right, back row: Alfred Johns, John Harry, Charlie McLeod, Hugh Trumble, Frank Laver, James O'Halloran and Micky Roche; front row: Harry Graham, Harry Trott, William Bruce and Jack Worrall. At this time teams trailing by 120 runs or more, after the first innings, had to follow on. Because this was a timeless match and Victoria did not want to bat last on a worn pitch, Trumble bowled deliberate no-balls to raise the South Australian total. Because of his actions, the law was changed to a 200 run deficit. (Photo by Popperfoto via Getty Images/Getty Images)
