Tasmanian cricket captains
Encyclopedia
The Australian state of Tasmania
has one of the longest traditions of cricket-playing in the southern hemisphere. Cricket
is recorded as having first been played in Tasmania
very shortly after the arrival of British settlers on the island on 12 September 1803, however it wasn't until nearly fifty years later that First-class cricket
was to be played there.
Despite the long wait since the foundation of the colony, Tasmania
played in the first-ever, First-class cricket match
in Australia which was played on 11 February and 12 February 1851, against Victoria
, with Tasmania
emerging victorious by 3 wickets. For that first match, Tasmania was captained by John Marshall
.
Following that first ever First-class match Tasmania endured a long period of isolation, in which the island's cricketers had to content themselves with occasional First-class matches against other colonies, primarily Victoria
, and touring or representative sides.
Australia's elite First-class cricket
competition, the Sheffield Shield was established in 1892, however Tasmania
was not invited to participate in that elite competition until 1977, and even then, their first four seasons were on a limited fixture list.
These are lists of the men who have been the official Tasmanian captains in First-class
, List A and Twenty20
domestic matches.
