Aboriginal cricketers alongside the Melbourne Cricket Ground Pavilion, c. 1867. The Aboriginal players in this photo were part of a team of 19 Aboriginal cricketers, along with English player Charles Lawrence as captain and three other white cricketers, who toured England in 1868, playing cricket and giving demonstrations of boomerang throwing and dancing. The team played 47 matches, winning 14, losing 14 and drawing 19. One player, Bripumyarrimin (‘King Cole’), died on tour of pneumonia, a few players returned home ill, one was arrested for drunkenness on tour and nearly all suffered homesickness.

Team members: at rear (left to right), Tarpot, T W Wills, Johnny Mullagh; front row, King Cole (leg on chair), Dick a Dick (standing); seated (left to right), Jellico, Peter, Red Cap, Harry Rose [Tiger Rose?], Bullocky, Cuzens. Mitchell Library, State Library of New South Wales.
