When did a cricket team from England tour Australia for the first time?


When did a cricket team from England tour Australia for the first time?

In 1876 – ’77, the English cricket team toured Australia. It is believed that the cricket tour was organized to replace a cancelled tour by Charles Dickens to Australia! Charles Bannerman of Australia set a number of records in that match. He faced the first ball in Test cricket, scored the first run, and the first century!
