Some Famous People called Jack Nitschke
Jack Nitschke
Homesdale Carl Nitschke, often misspelt as "Holmesdale" and also known as "Jack", "Sling" or "Slinger" (14 April 1905 – 29 September 1982), was an Australian and South Australian cricketer.
Born on 14 April 1905 in Adelaide, South Australia, Homesdale Nitschke was the son of Carl Hermann Wilhelm Luder Richard "C. H." Nitschke (1866–1922). His uncle, Richard Nitschke, was a famous baritone. Nitschke's grandfather Wilhelm Nitschke (c. 1817–1889) was the founding owner of the Hackney Distillery.
Described by E.W. Swanton as "a left-handed bat of belligerent inclinations", Nitschke played in only two Tests; against South Africa in Brisbane and Sydney in 1931, and could probably be considered unlucky to have arrived at his best years at the same time as cricketing greats such as Don Bradman, Bill Ponsford, Bill Woodfull, Archie Jackson, Stan McCabe and Alan Kippax.
He had far more impressive statistics in domestic first-class cricket where he scored 3,320 runs at an average of 42.03, including nine centuries.
Nitschke was also a successful racehorse breeder, with "Dayana" winning the Perth Cup in 1973, and the derbies of four states in 1972.
He died on 29 September 1982 in North Adelaide.
