1878-79 Australian cricket season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 1878-79 Australian cricket season featured no first-class matches between the colonial teams. New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania were unable to arrange fixtures as in previous seasons. Club cricket matches were played in most of the colonies.
Five first-class matches including one Test match were played by the England cricket team led by Lord Harris.
