TEAMS

Born in Australia, Mel Rilstone emigrated to Canada in 1942 as part of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan and went on to become a pilot. Described as a natural athlete, he played cricket for Canada for a number of years as a top-order batsman and legspinner. His three first-class appearances came against MCC on their tour of Canada in 1951, and then when Canada toured England in 1954. He also held the unenviable record of conceding the most runs off one over in Canada - 34.
