12 December 1879 ,Chatswood, New South Wales ,Australia ; d.7 June 1958 ,Brisbane ,Queensland , Australia) was an Australian Test cricketer. Hartigan became Australia's 92nd Test debutant on10 January 1908 during the Third Test of the 1907-08 Test series againstEngland . Batting at number eight in the second innings, Hartigan (scoring 116) added 243 runs for the eighth wicket - still an Australian Test cricket record - withClem Hill (160) in oppressive heat atAdelaide Oval . Despite this, Hartigan was overlooked for the next Test and, in fact, played only one more, the Fifth Test of the 1907/08 season six weeks later inSydney . Selected to play in the 1909 Ashes series in England, Hartigan performed poorly in the warm-up matches and was never considered for Test selection again.After his retirement from first-class cricket in 1921, Hartigan served on the Board of Cricket Control - forerunner of today's
Cricket Australia - for 35 years, and also Chairman of the Brisbane Cricket Ground Trust. In addition to cricket, Hartigan also representedNew South Wales inbaseball andQueensland inlacrosse .External links
