lol i thought it was the smoker vs non-smokers match where this happened,

W.H. Scotton, playing for Smokers against Non-Smokers at the old East Melbourne ground in 1886/87, decided to souvenir the ball at the end of the match. He played the final ball softly towards point and ran to pick it up. Upon appeal he was given out for handling the ball.

moving along, was the match played in the 19th century ?
