About Arthur Richardson (Australian cricketer)

Arthur John Richardson was an Australian Test cricketer who played nine Tests matches for Australia. His highest first-class score was 280 (in 242 minutes) for South Australia against the MCC in 1922–23, when he became the first person to hit a century before lunch in Australia. At his first match at Todmorden Cricket Club's ground Richardson was so overwhelmed by the scenery he stopped Todmorden player Fred Root in his bowling run up so he could admire the view.
