Second Wicketkeeper.
Allsopp stepped into the breach when W. A. Oldfield was unable to continue as wicket-keeper by taking wickets as to the manner born (states the "Referee” in an account of the mafch between New South Wales and the M.C.C. team). Jim Kelly says Allsopp should be taken to England as second wicket-keeper and batsman fit for any test. “Did you see Davidson ajid Walker keeping wickets in the Shetrield Shield match last seali son?” was a question put to the veteran. “Yes, and I greatly admired the pair. But Allsopp for me. He is a great batsman, provided no one tries to spoil him, by advising him to play someone else’s game. He must continue to play his own game.” *
