Arthur Coningham (cricketer)
Arthur Coningham ( 14 July 1863 – 13 June 1939) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Ashes Test match at Melbourne in 1894 in which he took a wicket with his very first ball. He took 2 for 17 in England's first innings but failed to add to that tally in the second. Biography Coningham was born at Emerald Hill, Victoria in 1863. He was renowned as something of a joker.

The jury found against Coningham and the couple emigrated to New Zealand; in 1912, his wife divorced him for adultery. His son was the World War ...
