== Relation with Arthur Conan Doyle ==

Milne and [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]] crossed paths in the literary-cricket world. Milne played for two amateur teams of British writers, the ''Allahakbarries'' and the ''Authors XI'', and his teammates included, among others, [[Arthur Conan Doyle]], [[Ernest W. Hornung]], [[J. M. Barrie]] and [[P. G. Wodehouse]].

Milne played with [[Sir Arthur Conan Doyle]] the match [[Actors v. Authors (MCC 1907)|Actors v. Authors]] on 15 august 1907 at Lord's Cricket Ground (St John's Wood, London). They lost by 6 wickets and 60 runs.

While both [[Arthur Conan Doyle|Conan Doyle]] and Milne both played in team ''Allahakbarries'', they never played together in that team.
