International cricket in 1880

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1880 international cricket season was from April 1880 to September 1880. The season consisted of a single international tour, visiting Australia in England for one-off series which was won by England.[1][2] In the match, W. G. Grace scored England's first Test century.[3] Also his brothers E. M. Grace and Fred Grace provided the first instance of three brothers playing the same Test.
