2009/10 and 2010/11. Two alumni who pursued careers in the sport were Percy McDonnell (1860-1896) who captained the Australian Test team in six matches, including the tour of England in 1888, and Karl Schneider (1905-1928), who is described in Cricinfo as one of "the most naturally gifted batsmen to have graced the game". While at the school, he played in the 1st XI for four years, three of which as captain. He broke the APS runs (1642) and wickets (139) records which remain unbroken, and captained Xavier to back-to-back premierships in 1923–24. Due to the performances of David Seal in 1974 the school won the premiership once again after fifty years. Cricket alongside rowing (colloquially known as XCBC) are the two biggest summer sports at the college.
