Cricket Player
1861 – 1929
Who was Joseph McMaster?
Joseph Emile Patrick McMaster is notable as having probably the oddest and shortest first-class cricket career of all-time. He was selected for an under-strength England team that toured South Africa in 1888/9 and was selected as a bowler in the second and final Test match, in Cape Town, starting on 25 March 1889. England batted first scoring 292, with McMaster making a first ball duck. He was not required to bowl in South Africa's two innings of 47 and 43, with Johnny Briggs taking 15 for 28 with the match ending in the second day. He never played another first-class game.
Cricinfo refers to McMaster as Joseph, whereas CricketArchive refers to McMaster as Emile.
