Australian 1878 Tour

Page history last edited by Patrick Adams 13 years, 2 months ago

1878 saw the first tour from Australia, where Dave Gregory's team easily outplayed both 22 players from Toronto, beating them by 10 wickets, and 22 players from Montreal, by securing a first innings lead of 228 with one wicket remaining when time was called. Clearly the Canadians could not compete with a team that had beaten the MCC by 9 wickets a few months before. Australia were shortly to prove that they were the best in the world.

 

The tourists played the following games

Against Ontario, at Toronto, on 8-9 October 1878 won by 10 wickets.

Against Montreal on 10-11 October 1878: match drawn.
