Australian cricket team in England in 1882

The Australia national cricket team toured England in 1882. The team is officially termed the Third Australians, following two previous tours in the 1878 and 1880 seasons. At the time, there was no Test cricket and so, as in 1880, the single match between England and Australia was rated first-class only. It has since been retrospectively recognised as a Test match. It also became historically famous as the match which created The Ashes.
