Details: Extract - Dr. Henry James Herbert Scott - Many expressions of sorrow and sympathy at the death of our late townsman continue to be received, bearing testimony to his sterling worth and widespread popularity. An old and esteemed friend, Mr. F. W. Barwick of Sparkes Creek, says he met the doctor a few weeks after he came to town, and throughout the twenty years that he had had the pleasure of knowing him, he never had occasion to alter the good opinion formed of him on their first acquaintance. A number of leading residents of Muswellbrook attended the solemn ceremony. Strong men and little children in large numbers were deeply affected, all feeling that they had parted with a valued citizen, able physician, and warm hearted friend. The deceased gentleman was in every respect a fine Australian with an honoured career and his memory will long be treasured in the Upper Hunter and throughout the Commonwealth as that of a good man gone where we all must go. An article published in 1886 described him as a cricketer….Dr. Henry James Herbert Scott was a sound, gritty batsman, with a solid defence. His greatest performance was in the Test match at Kennington Oval in 1884 when he made 102 and helped W.L. Murdock (211) and P.S. McDonnell (103) to create a record in England v. Australia matches with three centuries in the one innings. The biography of Dr. Scott was published in the Cricket Press book on the 1884 Australian team. He had not then finished his medical studies. It tells us that he was born at Toorak, near Melbourne, December 26 1858, and to Victoria belongs all the credit of his success on the cricket field. He was educated at the Wesley College in Melbourne under the head master ship of Professor Irving.
