William Caffyn — The Surrey All-Rounder Who Would Stay in Australia, 1858

Surrey and All-England elevens

1858-08-01

By 1858, at thirty-two, William Caffyn of Reigate was at the peak of his powers as Surrey's leading all-rounder — a graceful right-handed batsman and a sharp round-arm medium bowler. Selected for the 1859 North America tour and both Australian tours of 1861–62 and 1863–64, Caffyn chose to remain in Australia after the second tour and spent the next three years coaching in Melbourne and Sydney, training a generation of Australian cricketers who would return to beat England in the 1870s.

Charles Lawrence — Surrey Professional Who Would Coach Australia's First Generation, 1858

Surrey, Middlesex and All-England elevens

1858-06-01

Charles Lawrence, a fast roundarm bowler from Middlesex who also played for Surrey, was in the late 1850s an established professional of the second rank — a reliable bowler and capable batsman, selected for the 1861–62 Australian tour under Stephenson. Like Caffyn after the 1863–64 tour, Lawrence chose to remain in Australia, coaching at the Albert Cricket Club in Sydney and producing the first generation of New South Wales cricketers who would compete with England on level terms.
