Roland Pope
Roland James "Rowley" Pope (18 February 1864 – 27 July 1952) was an Australian cricketer best known for representing the Australian national cricket team in one Test match in 1885, and later also known as an ophthalmologist and philanthropist. From Sydney, New South Wales, he was selected for the Test as the result of a player strike during the English tour of Australia during the 1884–85 season, and made three runs across his two innings. Having studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh, Pope was head of the ophthalmology section of Sydney Hospital for a period of 17 years, and was later involved in the establishment of the library and art gallery of the City of Newcastle.
==Early life and cricket career==
Pope was born in Ashfield, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, on 18 February 1864, and educated at The Hutchins School in Hobart, Tasmania.〔(Roland Pope ) – ESPN Cricinfo. Retrieved 2 July 2012.〕 His first recorded cricket matches were played for Sydney University's cricket team against Melbourne University in 1879 and 1881, though it is unknown if he actually attended the school.〔(Other matches played by Roland Pope ) – Cricket Archive. Retrieved 2 July 2012.〕 Partly as a result of scoring 170 not out for a Melbourne I Zingari team against the Richmond Cricket Club, Pope was selected to make his debut for New South Wales against Victoria in late December 1884 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and made what was to be his highest first-class score, 47 runs, in New South Wales' first innings.〔(Victoria v New South Wales ) – Cricket Archive. Retrieved 2 July 2012.〕 The English cricket team was touring the Australian colonies at the time, and the second Test match of the series was scheduled to be held in Melbourne beginning on 1 January 1885, two days after the conclusion of the New South Wales–Victoria game. A number of leading New South Wales players, including Jack Blackham, Harry Boyle, George Bonnor, and Percy McDonnell objected to the payment arrangements for the tour, and boycotted the first and second Tests in protest at what they perceived at unfair treatment. The Victorian Cricket Association was forced to choose a team comprising nine debutants (including Pope) for the Test, with Tom Horan as captain. In the match, Pope batted at number six in both innings, making a duck in the first innings and three runs in the second innings of what was to be his only Test.〔(Australia v England ) – Cricket Archive.

Having moved to Scotland to study at the Medical School of the University of Edinburgh in 1886, Pope played a number of matches for Scottish representative sides against English county sides, as well as playing for the Marylebone Cricket Club on its tour of Great Britain in 1891. Australian representative sides toured England in 1886 and 1890, and Pope played in a number of matches for the teams.〔 He graduated from the university in 1890 with a Doctorate of Medicine (specialising in ophthalmology) and fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, subsequently returning to Australia.〔 For a period of 17 years, from 1894 to 1911, Pope worked at Sydney Hospital, firstly as honorary ophthalmic assistant, and then as honorary ophthalmic surgeon, later being appointed to the honorary consulting staff after his resignation in May 1911.〔(SYDNEY HOSPITAL. ) – ''The Sydney Morning Herald''.
