| To take the gold, Carter engaged in a head-to-head duel with his countryman, world champion Bevan Docherty. |
| He gave the command of the Venus to Bevan, with Tom as his mate, and six hands. |
| Bevan hit only seven fours in his innings, and to make a big score at more than a run a ball with so few boundaries is very rare. |
| Nor was this the only business in which Bevan engaged in the course of that year. |
| Bevan and the midshipmen had already reached the boat, and, jumping in, they pulled rapidly towards the supplejack. |
| Bevan was said to have a weakness against the short ball and was restricted to playing limited overs cricket. |
