Jack Cottam had played in only one first-class match – for New South Wales against the touring English cricket team, when he scored 29 and 14 not out[1] – before making his Test debut a few days later in the Second Test against England at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Cottam made just four runs as Australia lost by 71 runs.[2] Cottam's five other first-class matches came on New South Wales' tour of New Zealand in 1889–90, when he made three fifties including his highest score of 62, the only fifty in the match, when New South Wales beat Wellington.[3][4]
