Australia’s first Aboriginal cricket team: an untold story

In an overlooked snippet of Australian sporting history, our first sporting team to tour England was comprised of Aboriginal cricketers from western Victoria.

They played 49 games on tour: won 14, lost 14, and drew 19.

Among a swathe of cricketing greats such as Bradman and Mcgrath, the story often gets forgotten.
