The extraordinary story of the first overseas cricketers ever to visit England - a team of Australian Aborigines who toured in 1868. They were among the few remaining members of their clans - most had already been wiped out by white settlers and imported diseases. The quality of their cricket surprised the English crowds, but it was, primarily, a commercial tour. At the end of each match they had to put on exhibitions of boomerang- and spear-throwing. They were never paid and only three of them ever played again. They were the first cricketers to represent Australia overseas, yet no Aborigine has played for his country since.
