    True, and in the Druitt sub-forum, there are 3 different threads about some aspect of Druitt and cricket, on the first 3 pages alone of that forum.

      The game was only discovered by a researcher called Joanna (I don’t know her second name) and was posted on this thread on JtRForums in 2022.

      Ever since Irving Rosenwater published his research into Druitt's cricket career in 1973 we have been aware that he played cricket in Canford, Dorset on 1 September 1888, one day after the murder of Mary Ann 'Polly' Nichols.
