John Trumble

John William Trumble who was born on 16 September 1863 was an Australian cricketer who played in 7 Tests between 1885 and 1886. His brothers name was Hugh.

His cricket career was short as he chose to focus on his legal career.

While never reaching the lofty standards of his brother he was a good off-break bowler for Victoria and handy with the bat. He produced some useful performances in his seven Tests for Australia but nothing outstanding. He continued to be a good servant of Victorian cricket, bowling some fine spells in domestic cricket.
