Wisden obituary
Dr Roland James Pope, who died at Sydney on July 27, aged 88, was a frequent visitor to England with Australian teams, though not as a playing member. Born on February 18, 1864, he was educated at Hutchins School, Hobart, Tasmania, gaining a place in the eleven as a batsman and bowler of lobs, and he later played for Sydney University. Subsequently, while studying medicine, he was in the Edinburgh University side. In 1884-85, after hitting 170 not out for Melbourne Zingari against Richmond, he represented New South Wales in two matches against Victoria, and he appeared for a Combined XI of Australia and for his State against Alfred Shaw's team. An MD and FRCS of Edinburgh and an ophthalmic specialist, he became a member of MCC in 1887.

Footnote
This obituary glosses over the fact that the 1884-85 game for the Combined XI was actually designated as the second Test of the series, one which Australia lost by 10 wickets. Pope was only selected because the entire side who had played in the first Test refused to play in a dispute over gate money (they wanted 50 per cent of the take).
