Alfred Johns

Alfred Edward Johns was an Australian cricketer who played first-class cricket for Australia and Victoria between 1895 and 1899.

Personal life
Born in the Melbourne suburb of Hawthorn, Johns was one of eight children of Elizabeth (née Tudor) and Peter Johns, founder of the lift manufacturing firm Johns & Waygood. After attending Wesley College in Melbourne, he studied law and practised as a lawyer in Melbourne. He gave up the law in 1899 when his father died, and succeeded his father as director of Johns & Waygood. Johns died in 1934 in Melbourne, aged 66. ==Cricket career==
Cricket career
Johns made his first-class debut for Victoria in a match against the touring English team in March 1895. A wicket-keeper and left-handed batsman, he toured with the Australian national team to England twice, in 1896 and 1899, without playing in a Test Match. Unusually for an Australian player, over half of Johns' first-class matches were played in England rather than Australia. ==See also==
