Thomas Ainslie Caterer (16 May 1858 - 25 August 1924) was a leading South Australian cricketer, cricket administrator and educator of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Born in Woodville, South Australia to Thomas Caterer, a pioneer Adelaide teacher and mayor of Kensington and Norwood〔''South Australian Register'', "Mayors of Kensington and Norwood", 10 October 1882, p. 5.〕 and Marina (nee Mudie),〔''South Australian Register'', "Birds and their plumes", 17 March 1899, p. 5.〕 Caterer attended Norwood Grammar, the school founded by his father,〔''Kapunda Herald'', "Our City Letter", 4 April 1879, p. 3.〕 and the then newly opened University of Adelaide. In 1879, Caterer became the first graduate of the University, with a Bachelor of Arts.〔''South Australian Register'', "The Adelaide University", 24 March 1879, Supplement p.2.〕 Friends and well-wishers attempted to attend the graduation ceremony but were banned from doing so.〔 ==Cricket career== Caterer was also a leading South Australian sportsman, playing for Kensington Football Club in the South Australian Football Association, as well as serving as its Honorary Secretary,〔''The South Australian Advertiser'', "The Advertiser", 27 March 1879, p. 4.〕 and playing firstly for Kensington Cricket Club〔 and later for Adelaide Cricket Club.〔Page, p. 9.〕 A left arm fast-medium bowler, Caterer played his first important, non-first-class cricket match for South Australia against a combined "Australians" side at the Adelaide Oval from 6 November 1880, scoring ten and seven and taking 1/8 (one wicket for eight runs) and 1/15.〔CricketArchive〕 He was not picked for the inaugural inter-colonial match between South Australia and Victoria played a week later, instead playing for a South Australian second eleven against a Suburban Association XI.〔''Adelaide Observer'', "Cricket Notes", 13 November 1880, p. 14.〕 Caterer continued to bowl well in Adelaide district cricket over the following seasons〔"Point", "Cricket", ''Adelaide Observer'', 19 November 1881, p. 18.〕〔''South Australian Advertiser'', "Cricket Notes", 3 January 1882, p. 6.〕 and was chosen in the South Australian side to play the Australians in Adelaide starting 14 March 1884, taking 4/60. In the 1884/85 season, Caterer was chosen in a South Australian side to play the touring English team led by Alfred Shaw, taking match figures of 7/109 and impressing the South Australian selectors enough to name him in the South Australian team to play against Victoria at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The match, which proved to be Caterer's only first-class match, started on 23 January 1885. He took 1/42 and failed to score a run as South Australia won by 53 runs. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ainslie Caterer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
