Reginald Alexander "Reggie" Duff (17 August 1878 in Sydney, New South Wales – 13 December 1911 in St Leonards, New South Wales) was an Australian cricketer who played in 22 Tests between 1902 and 1905.
He made his test debut against England at Melbourne in 1901-02 and scored 104 after being held back until No. 10 in the second innings due to a bad pitch. This innings is the first instance of a No. 10 scoring a hundred on debut and one of only four centuries from that low in the order by anyone. He was a specialist batsman by trade and opened in the second innings of the next Test.
Abul Hasan of Bangladesh became the second man to score a test century at debut at No. 10 in 2012.
Duff's career was plagued by alcoholism, and he lost his life at the age of 33 in 1911. His former colleagues from his home state of NSW paid for his funeral.[1]
