Turner was born in Bathurst, New South Wales. His early adventures in firstclass cricket were unsuccessful, but in 188687, when he moved from Bathurst to Sydney to become a banker, his skill developed to a remarkable degree with 70 firstclass wickets at 7.68 runs each from just seven matches. In two games against Victoria he took eighteen wickets for 184 runs, but it was his excellence against Alfred Shaws touring side that brought Turner acclaim in the English cricket community. In the first Test, after England were put in on a very sticky pitch, Turner took 615, and in the second his combined figures were nine for 93.
