Frank Meares
Frank Devenish Meares (25 April 1873 – 4 July 1952), also Frank Devenish-Meares (hyphenated), was an Australian sportsman who played both cricket and Australian rules football at high levels. Born in Surry Hills, an inner-city suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Meares was the son of William Meares, who had previously played two matches for Otago.〔(William Meares ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 11 December 2012.〕 He emigrated to Western Australia sometime in the late 1890s, and took up playing with East Fremantle in the WACA district cricket competition, leading the club's batting averages during the 1897–98 season.〔("EAST FREMANTLE CRICKET CLUB: THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM DISCUSSED" ) – ''The West Australian''. Published 16 September 1898.〕 When the club was reformed the following season under the electorate system (recruitment limited to specific localities), Meares was made one of the club's inaugural delegates to the Western Australian Cricket Association.〔("EAST FREMANTLE CLUB." ) – ''The Inquirer & Commercial News''. Published 7 October 1898.〕 He was consistently regarded as one of the club's best batsmen, and in one match during the 1898–99 season scored 110 runs from a team total of 170 runs, an innings which led ''The Inquirer & Commercial News'' to describe him as the "most artistic batsman in the colony".〔("EAST PERTH V. EAST FREMANTLE" ) – ''The Inquirer & Commercial News''. Published 17 March 1899.〕
Meares' form led to his selection for Western Australia to play against the touring South Australia in April 1899.〔("METROPOLITAN CRICKET." ) – ''Kalgoorlie Western Argus''. Published 30 March 1899.〕 In the match, held at the WACA Ground over four days, he scored 16 runs in both innings, batting at first drop, and was dismissed by Joe Travers and Alfred Jarvis in the first and second innings, respectively.〔(Western Australia v South Australia ), Other First-Class matches in Australia 1898/99 – CricketArchive. Retrieved 11 December 2012.〕 During 1899, Meares also began to play football for the East Fremantle Football Club in the West Australian Football League (WAFL), with ''The West Australian'' noting his marking ability.〔("EAST FREMANTLE DEFEATS ROVERS." ) – ''The West Australian''. Published 19 June 1899.〕 At the start of the following cricket season, he was made East Fremantle's captain. However, in November 1899, shortly after the season commenced, Meares returned to New South Wales for unexplained reasons. ''The West Australian'' remarked that he was "undoubtedly the most brilliant batsman in the colony", and that Western Australian cricket would "suffer greatly" as a result of his departure.〔("DEPARTURE OF MR. F. D. MEARES." ) – ''The West Australian''. Published 13 November 1899.〕 Meares continued playing cricket in New South Wales, turning out for the Leichhardt–Balmain District Cricket Club in Sydney grade cricket, and also later for the Gordon District Cricket Club.〔(Gordon's representative players ) – Gordon District Cricket Club. Retrieved 11 December 2012.〕〔("INTER-DISTRICT MATCH: ORANGE v. BATHURST." ) – ''Bathurst Free Press and Mining Journal''. Published 29 December 1902.〕 He went on to play two first-class matches for New South Wales during the 1901–02 season—a Sheffield Shield match against Victoria and an interstate match against Queensland.〔(First-Class Matches played by Frank Devenish-Meares (3) ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 11 December 2012.〕 In the first of these matches, against Victoria, he recorded his highest first-class score (and only half-century), an innings of 55 runs.〔(New South Wales v Victoria ), Sheffield Shield 1901/02 – CricketArchive. Retrieved 11 December 2012.〕 Meares died in Sydney in July 1952.〔(Frank Devenish-Meares ) – CricketArchive. Retrieved 11 December 2012.〕〔(Frank Devenish-Meares ) – ESPNcricinfo.
