His first match was between Australia and England at Sydney on 12 December to 16 December 1901, a match which England won by an innings.. His colleague was Richard Callaway, also standing in his first Test match. Crockett was inspired to take up cricket umpiring at the age of 25 by the brave deeds of "Dimboola Jim" Phillips who waged war on the chuckers of the 1890s, bowlers who threw the ball instead of bowling it.

Victorian Bushrangers
The Victoria men’s cricket team is an Australian first-class men's cricket team based in Melbourne, Victoria. The men’s team, which first played in 1851, represents the state of Victoria in the Marsh Sheffield Shield first-class competition and the Marsh One Day Cup 50-over competition. It was known as the Victorian Bushrangers between 1995 and 2018, before dropping the Bushrangers nickname and electing to be known as simply Victoria in all cricket competitions. Victoria shares home matches between the Melbourne Cricket Ground in East Melbourne and the Junction Oval in St Kilda. The team is administered by Cricket Victoria and draws its players primarily from Victoria's Premier Cricket competition along with players from throughout the country. Victoria also played in the now-defunct Twenty20 competition, the Twenty20 Big Bash, which was replaced by the franchise-based Big Bash League.
