three in the second innings. He was not successful in the final Test, scoring just four and five as England won easily. In the five Tests, Commaille scored 155 runs at an average of just 15.50. Despite this modest performance, Commaille was selected for the 1910–11 tour of Australia, the first Test tour of Australia by a South African team. He was not successful on the tour, however, and was selected for only six first-class matches and none of the Tests; in some games he batted as low as No 10 and his highest score on tour was just 29, with an average of only 9.90. Commaille supplemented his cricket with some journalism on the tour, writing an adulatory article about the Tasmanian leg of the tour for The Argus newspaper. He was more successful in domestic South African cricket in 1912–13 and scored 55 and 103, his first century, in the match against Orange Free State. In 1913–14, there was another tour of South Africa by an England team; Commaille played in both the first-class matches for Western Province against the touring side, and scored 52 in the second of them, but by this time all the Tests had been played and he had not been picked for any of them. Football career Alongside his cricket career, Commaille was also prominent in South African Association football as both a player and an administrator; in 1913, he was the honorary secretary of the Football Association of South Africa at a time when a triangular Commonwealth series of internationals between England, South Africa and Australia was proposed (and rejected). As a player, he represented South Africa at either outside- or inside-right. Cricket after the First World War Commaille resumed his first-class cricket career with matches against the Australian Imperial Forces cricket team in 1919–20, and when proper domestic competition returned in 1920–21 he was immediately far more successful than he had been in any season pre-War. In the first Western Province game of the season against a very weak Border team he made 156, more than the opposing team made in their two innings combined. Later in the season he hit a second century against Griqualand West. There were tours to South Africa by Australia in 1921–22 and England in 1922–23, and Commaille played in the Western Province games against both sides, but did not earn a Test recall. In 1923–24
