Biography

Warne's top score for Victoria was 153 against Tasmania in 1911–12, in the second innings of his last first-class match, when he captained Victoria.[2] In 1901–02 he carried his bat for 61 not out when A. C. MacLaren's XI dismissed Victoria for 129.[3] His best bowling figures were 6 for 50 against New South Wales in 1906–07.[4]

Over almost 30 years he made nearly 10,000 runs for Carlton in Melbourne district cricket. In 1898–99 he became the first person in the competition to score 1000 runs in a season, with 1011 runs at an average of 126, including a top score of 402 against Richmond. He spent the rest of his life as the curator of Carlton's ground.[5] He died at his residence at the ground. He and his wife Alice had six sons (including the cricketer Frank Warne) and six daughters.[6]
