In 1868, a team of Aboriginal cricketers from the Jardwadjali and Gunditjmara nations sailed to England, becoming the first Australian cricket team to tour internationally. This episode follows their journey: the organized matches at the MCG, the grueling voyage, and the 47 matches they played across England — including a victory over Surrey. We explore the players like Johnny Mullagh (Unaarrimin), the team's star all-rounder, and Charles Lawrence, the English coach who managed them. The tour was a mix of genuine sporting achievement and colonial spectacle, with the players performing traditional dances and spear-throwing between matches. The tour's legacy is complex: it challenged racial stereotypes yet was framed through a paternalist lens. We also touch on the abrupt end of the tour, the players' return to a restrictive mission system, and how the team has been remembered — from the Johnny Mullagh Cricket Ground in Harrow to the 150th anniversary commemorations in 2018. It's a story of skill, resilience, and the ambiguous role of sport in colonial encounters. #AboriginalCricket #JohnnyMullagh #Unaarrimin #Jardwadjali #Gunditjmara #1868CricketTour #CharlesLawrence #MCG #ColonialHistory #AustralianCricket #IndigenousSport #HarrowVictoria #Wimmera #CricketHistory #SportsHistory #IndigenousAustralia #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
