1882 and all that!
Saturday, November 25th, 2006The year 1882 will be engraved on my memory for years to come, not that I was around at the time, of course. In case you didn’t know, 1882 was when a touring Australian cricket team first beat England on home soil. England, with the legendary WG Grace in their ranks, lost by seven runs, Aussie fast bowler Fred Spofforth taking 14 wickets for 90 runs.
