N2  - Alcohol was an indispensable part of the life of the nineteenth-century Australian cricketer. Tom Wills was the archetypal example of this time. Wills committed suicide while in the throes of delirium tremens. His short but spectacular life ended at the age of 44 years. His alcoholism is the centrepiece of this article in which the broader issues of alcohol as they affected professional cricketers, visiting English teams and the Aboriginal cricket team from the Western District of Victoria are reviewed. © 2005 The British Society of Sports History.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
