EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the Australian Cricket Team in 1886, a time when the sport was beginning to gain significant popularity in Australia and around the world. The team, composed of eleven talented cricketers, is seen here dressed in their distinctive striped blazers and caps, exuding confidence and camaraderie. The image transports us back to the late Victorian era, with the team's formal attire and the backdrop of a lush, green cricket field. Cricket had been introduced to Australia in the 1850s, and by the 1880s, it had become a national pastime. The team in this photograph represents the best of Australian cricket during that period, with players such as Fred Spofforth, Billy Murdoch, and Monty Noble, who went on to become legends of the game. The photograph offers a glimpse into the history of Australian cricket, a sport that has since become a source of national pride and identity. It also serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of cricket, a game that continues to captivate audiences and bring people together, both in Australia and around the world.
