Description

Prahran, Victoria born right-hand batsman Jack Edwards played grade cricket for Melbourne Cricket Club before making his first class State debut for Victoria in 1880-81. He hit his highest score the following summer, making 65 against the touring English team, one of 4 career half centuries. A short and slight man, Edwards had a strong defence and was a fine fieldsman.

His selection for the tour of England in 1888 was prompted by his heavy scoring in club matches, and he made his Test match debut for Australia at Lord’s in July 1888. In the three Test matches on the tour, batting in the middle order in all three matches, he made three ducks in six innings, with a high score of 26, achieving an average of 9.60. Edwards did only a little better in first class cricket overall, playing in 51 matches and scoring 961 runs at an average of 13.72. He also took 7 wickets as an occasional leg-break bowler at 27.71 apiece with a best return of 2-6.
