Notes

  1. ^ Aitken, who is thought to have been born in 1959, played age-group and B team cricket for Auckland between 1979–80 and 1981–82 as well as against Northland in a non-first-class match. His three List A appearances for the provincial side all came during the 1980–81 season. He scored a total of 90 runs, including a highest score of 54, and took a single wicket. No other biographical details and known.[2][3]
  2. ^ All three of Brook's matches for Auckland came in early 1914 after he was chosen for the team after playing cricket in Whangārei. He made his provincial debut against Canterbury in January and after playing against Wellington later in the month he made his final appearance for Auckland the following month against the touring Australians. He scored a total of 117 runs and took one wicket. Other than a surname and initials no biographical details are known.[4][5]
  3. ^ A wicket-keeper, Hayward played two first-class matches for Auckland in 1910–11. He took two catches and scored a single run against Wellington on debut in December, before taking a single catch and not scoring in either of his innings against Canterbury at the end of January. Other than a surname and initial no biographical details are known.[6][7]
  4. ^ Jones played twice for Auckland during the 1911–12 season. He made his debut against Otago at Carisbrook in mid-February 1912 before playing his second match later in the month against Wellington at the Basin Reserve. Primarily a bowler, he took four first-class wickets, including 3/30 on debut, and scored a total of 20 runs in three innings.

  5. ^ Nicholson played a single match for Auckland against a touring New South Wales side in January 1894. He scored eight not out in his first innings and four in his second. Other than a surname and initials no biographical information is known.[10][11]
  6. ^ Sands was born in Yorkshire in England[12] and emigrated to Australia where he met cricketer Sammy Jones in Sydney. Jones moved to New Zealand in 1904 and coached the Grafton club and at Auckland Grammar School; in the following season he was employed as a coach by the Auckland Cricket Association.[13] The Association employed Sands to assist Jones as their second coach for the 1905–06 season[14] and he played for the North Shore cricket club.[15] He made his only first-class appearance for Auckland in a January 1906 match against Hawke's Bay, taking four wickets and recording a duck in the only innings in which he batted.[16][17] Little else is known about his life, with some doubt as to his first initial and sources disagreeing over his place of birth.[18]
