Bullocky (cricketer)

He was referred to as "at once the black Bannerman and Blackham of his team", and his wicket-keeping was favourably compared to Tom Lockyer.

He spent much of his life working on agricultural stations in the Wimmera region of western Victoria.

He played for a Victoria XI against a Tasmanian XVI in January 1867, alongside Johnny Cuzens.

As a result, they are thought to be the first people of Aboriginal descent to play inter-colony cricket, although the match is not considered to have first-class status.

He scored 64 not out against Hastings, but he was mysteriously "absent ill" for the second innings in a two-day match against the MCC at Lord's on 12–13 June (there has been speculation that he was unfit, having become drunk the night before).
