Notes

edit
  1. ^ A wicket-keeper, Hayward played two first-class matches for Auckland in 1910–11. He took two catches and scored a single run against Wellington on debut in December, before taking a single catch and not scoring in either of his innings against Canterbury at the end of January. Other than a surname and initial no biographical details are known.[2][3]
  2. ^ Jones played twice for Auckland during the 1911–12 season. He made his debut against Otago at Carisbrook in mid-February 1912 before playing his second match later in the month against Wellington at the Basin Reserve. Primarily a bowler, he took four first-class wickets, including 3/30 on debut, and scored a total of 20 runs in three innings. Other than a surname and initials no biographical details are known.[4][5]
  3. ^ Nicholson played a single match for Auckland against a touring New South Wales side in January 1894. He scored eight not out in his first innings and four in his second. Other than a surname and initials no biographical information is known.[6][7]
  4. ^ Sands was born in Yorkshire in England[8] and emigrated to Australia where he met cricketer Sammy Jones in Sydney. Jones moved to New Zealand in 1904 and coached the Grafton club and at Auckland Grammar School; in the following season he was employed as a coach by the Auckland Cricket Association.[9] The Association employed Sands to assist Jones as their second coach for the 1905–06 season[10] and he played for the North Shore cricket club.[11] He made his only first-class appearance for Auckland in a January 1906 match against Hawke's Bay, taking four wickets and recording a duck in the only innings in which he batted.[12][13] Little else is known about his life, with some doubt as to his first initial and sources disagreeing over his place of birth.[14]
