Once discovered, however, Emmett climbed almost immediately to the top of the cricketing tree, playing for England against Surrey & Sussex in Tom Lockyer's benefit match at the Oval in 1867, his second season.

As time went on, Emmett's pace deserted him, but he made up for it by developing into a clever bowler full of device and untiring in effort.
Emmett toured Australia three times and North America once. The Australian cricket team is the national cricket team of Australia. He played seven Test matches, including the first-ever in 1877, and was also the bowling mainstay for Lord Harris's team in 1878/9. Test cricket is the longest form of the Sport of Cricket.
