[Tom Richardson. Fast swing bowler. 2,192 wickets. Surrey cricketer] MITCHAM has in its time furnished many distinguished Cricketers to the Surrey Eleven. The latest is RICHARDSON, Whose forebears have been closely associated with the little village which gave the HUMPHREYS and JONES among latter day players to County cricket. A Surrey man by birth, RICHARDSON'S training took place on Mitcham Green. Some six years have been enough to take him to a place among the front rank of Cricketers of to-day. On his form of the last two or three years he has no superior as a fast bowler. His selection, as one of the first choices of Mr. STODDART'S Team for Australia, was justified, too, by the success he met out there. Just over six feet, he makes full use of his height. With an easy delivery, he sends the ball in at a great pace, and as he makes it come back a bit, he wants careful playing
