Harry Moses

Henry Moses, known as Harry Moses, was an Australian cricketer who played in six Test matches against England between 1887 and 1895, all of them in Australia. Born in Windsor, New South Wales, on 13 February 1858, he played for New South Wales from 1881-82 to 1894-95. In 1887-88 he made 297 not out in an innings win over Victoria, and in December 1892 he captained New South Wales in the first Sheffield Shield match, scoring 99 in the first innings and narrowly missing the first century in that competition. The pressure of his business as a wine merchant kept him from touring England. After cricket he became a champion lawn bowler, representing New South Wales for sixteen years and captaining the state sixty times, and later chaired the Sydney Cricket Ground Trust until his death in 1938.
