**** NOTE

Births and Deaths section of the 1993 Wisden, Editor's Notes:

"JH Hodges who was formerly believed to have played in the first
two Test matches ever staged, at Melbourne in 1876-77, never
played for Australia nor even Victoria. The Test cricketer is
now believed to be JR Hodges, also research has led to changes
in the details of NFD Thomson (formerly listed as Thompson) who
played for Australia in these two Tests."
