Profile
Milford Laurenson Curly Page or just Curly Page as he was widely known was a right-hand middle order batsman, a medium pace bowler and a terrific slip fielder. He was New Zealand's second captain and the only player to appear in all 14 of New Zealand's Tests before World War II.
Page was also an excellent rugby player. He was an All-Black scrum-half in 1928 and played the third Test against New South Wales at Christchurch. Just when he was 18 and still at school (Christchurch Boys' High School), Page was selected to play for Canterbury against a strong Australian side in 1921. He made his debut in 1930 and toured England three times. Page was the captain on the 1937 tour and also scored his only hundred at Lord's in 1931.
Page's first class career spanned over two decades - 1920-21 to 1942-43. Overall, he scored 2424 runs for Canterbury, but altogether made 5857 first class runs, including a 206 against Wellington in 1931-32.
