John Harry (1 August 1857 – 27 October 1919) was an Australian cricketer who played in one Test at Adelaide in 1895.
Jack Harry was a talented batsman, bowler, fieldsman and wicket-keeper who played for the East Melbourne Cricket Club and represented Victoria from 1884 to 1897.[1][2] He could also throw strongly with either hand.[3]
He was picked for the Australians' 1896 England tour but then replaced, ostensibly because of a knee injury, but in fact because the rest of the team voted him out. He sued the Australasian Cricket Council, accepting an out-of-court settlement of £180.[4]
