Syd Gregory (1870 to 1929) was an Australian cricketer who played for New South Wales and Australia between 1890 and 1912, and at his retirement held the world record of 58 Test matches. Born at Moore Park in Sydney into what was Australia's first cricketing dynasty, he was a right-handed batsman and a celebrated fielder at cover point. He scored the first Test double century made in Australia, 201 against England at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1894-95, toured England eight times, and captained Australia six times, including the largely untried side sent to England in 1912 after the leading players refused to tour. He was named one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year in 1897. He also played a season of lacrosse for North Sydney in 1901 as a winter sport.
