Bryce, Sammy Woods played 3 Tests for Australia V England (1888) and 3 tests for England v SA (1895/6) . He played Rugby for England. He was born in Australia, but lived most of his life and died in England, Hence my hint Re-Ambivalent questions !!

He played first class cricket till 1910 (which qualifies him to have played in the 20th Century !! :D )

Q 14 Has he been immortalised in a cricket poem ? Not aware of the said peom

AN Hornby who figured in...

Oh my Hornby and my Barlow of long ago

he was a double international in cricket and Rugby . He had the lowest bowling average and the lowest economy rate of all bowlers in the history of the game for test matches !!

1 wicket for zero runs in the 28 balls he bowled in test matches :p
