Thomas Kelly

Born in Ireland, brought up in England, Thomas Kelly emigrated to Australia in 1863 when he was 19. His first match was for George Parr's touring side in 1863-64, and he appeared regularly for Victoria for the next 17 seasons. He made two Test appearances, in the second Test in 1876-77 and in the only match in 1877-78. A capable right-hand batsman, Kelly was regarded as one of the finest point fielders of his generation. He is also credited with being the first man to wear a blazer in Australia.
