S. B. Joel's cricket team in South Africa in 1924–25

S. B. Joel's XI was a team of English cricketers that toured South Africa between November 1924 and February 1925 and played 14 first-class matches and seven other games.[1] The tour was an unofficial one: an official tour of Australia organised by the Marylebone Cricket Club took place at the same time.

The tour was financed by the South African cricket authorities with assistance from the wealthy Anglo-South African financier Solomon Joel; at the time, it was generally referred to as "the Hon. L. H. Tennyson's XI" after the team's captain, Lionel Tennyson.[1]

The team

Most of the players had Test cricket experience before or after the tour: only Bartley, Jameson and Nicholas did not play Test cricket. Astill, who was coaching in South Africa, was not in the touring team but played in two of the matches against South Africa.

The tour

The 14 first-class matches (some of them scheduled for only two days) were as follows:

  • Western Province v S. B. Joel's XI, Newlands, Cape Town, 14, 15 November 1924. S. B. Joel's XI 252 for 9 declared; Western Province 118 and 82 for 8. Drawn.
