George Edward Tribe (born 4 October 1920, Yarraville, Victoria), [According to his Cricinfo profile, despite the fact that he was known as George Edward Tribe, the name George James Tribe was entered on his birth certificate.] is an Australian cricketer who played in 3 Tests from 1946 to 1947, as well as an Australian rules footballer with the Footscray Football Club in the VFL.

Cricket career

Tribe played with great success for Victoria immediately after the Second World War and took part in three Test matches under Donald Bradman in 1946-47. An all-rounder, he bowled slow left-arm orthodox and chinamen and batted doggedly and left-handedly, mostly at number six or seven.

After failing to achieve further recognition in Australia, Tribe moved to the Lancashire League in 1947, and in 1951 joined Northamptonshire, playing for nine seasons and achieving "the double" of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in seven of those seasons. His value to Northamptonshire as the county moved from being the perpetual back-markers to challenge seriously for the County Championship was immense.

As of 2007, Tribe still holds the Northamptonshire record for best bowling in a first-class match, returning figures of 15-31 (made up of 7-22 and 8-9) against Yorkshire in 1958.

He was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1955.

Australian rules career

In 1940 Tribe made his debut with the Footscray Football Club in the then-Victorian Football League. He played as a forward and was considered to be a dangerous goalkicker. He went on to play 66 games and kick 80 goals for Footscray before he playing his last game in 1946. He then returned to cricket with the Lancashire League in England. [His brother Tom also played 101 games of football for Footscray. [http://stats.rleague.com/afl/stats/players/T/Tom_Tribe.html] ]
