Aboriginal cricket team in Melbourne in 1866. Greg Hunter from the Melbourne Cricket Club said “I can confirm for you that this photo was indeed actually taken in Australia – it depicts the team with Tom Wills at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in December 1866. A few of the players pictured here unfortunately passed away between 1866 and 1868, but by and large most of this team did then travel to England in 1868”.
