International cricket in 1881–82

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1881–82 international cricket season was from September 1881 to March 1882.[1][2] The first match of the series was Test cricket's first draw.[3] The fourth Test match became the last drawn Test in Australia until 1946-47 tour. Englishman George Ulyett's 149 in that match was the first Test hundred for England in Australia, and it was the highest score for England on the first day of a Test in Australia until Bob Barber scored 185 on the 1965–66 tour.
