John Davies (Australian politician) : ウィキペディア英語版
John George Davies

Sir John George Davies KCMG (17 February 1846 – 12 November 1913) was a Tasmanian politician, newspaper proprietor and first-class cricketer.
Davies' Jewish father John Snr. and grandfather had been transported to Australia as convicts and Davies was born in Melbourne to John Snr. and Elizabeth Davies (née Ellis) following Davies Snr's release.〔
The Davies family moved to Tasmania where Davies Snr co-founded the ''Hobart Mercury''〔''Sydney Morning Herald'', "Death of Sir George Davies", 13 November 1913, p. 13.〕 and became a prominent citizen of Hobart, including serving in the Tasmanian House of Assembly.〔''The Parliament of Tasmania'', "John Davies", http://www.parliament.tas.gov.au/history/tasparl/davies70.htm Accessed 24 May 2010〕
Davies and his brother Charles were educated at Melbourne Grammar School and The Hutchins School in Hobart, where he showed great promise as a sportsman.〔Boyer, p. 233〕
==Sporting career==
Davies' cricketing skills led him to play against the touring H.H. Stephenson's English side in 1862, aged 16, scoring six.〔(E Stephenson's XI v HH Stephenson's XI Accessed 14 May 2010 )〕 He continued to represent Tasmania in non-first-class matches throughout the 1860s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Other matches played by George Davies )
Davies made his first-class cricket debut for Tasmania against Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on 24 February 1871.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Victoria v Tasmania in 1870/71 )〕 Davies captained Tasmania, opened the batting and kept wicket. He was the only batsman from either side to reach double figures in each innings.〔Dawson, pp. 24-5.〕
Due to work pressures and the small amount of matches Tasmania were involved in, Davies only played seven first-class matches. Four of those matches came when he captained a Tasmanian team on a tour of the South Island of New Zealand in February 1884. He made his highest score of 42 on that tour, against Canterbury in Christchurch. His best bowling figures were two wickets for no runs against South Australia in November 1877.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=George Davies )
Davies' final first-class match was in New Zealand in 1884 but he continued to be heavily involved in cricket, founding the Southern Tasmanian Cricket Association and serving as a senior administrator for many years,〔''The Mercury'', "The late Sir George Davies", 17 November 1913, p. 5.〕 writing on cricket for the ''Tasmanian Mail'' as well as umpiring, including one first-class match, Tasmania against Victoria in 1890.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tasmania v Victoria )
Davies' final major cricket match was in February 1899, when, aged 52, he captained the Southern Tasmania Cricket Association against the touring New Zealanders. In a team including Test players Charles Eady and Kenny Burn, Davies made 65.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Southern Tasmania Cricket Association v New Zealanders )
Davies was also involved in other sports, including Australian rules football, where he served as a senior administrator, horse racing (as an owner)〔Boyer, p. 235.〕 and rifle shooting, holding office in Tasmanian and national rifle associations for many years, culminating in his captaining of the Australian team which won the Kolapore Cup at Bisley, England, in 1902.〔
