George Parr's English XII — Tour of Australia and New Zealand, 1863-64
George Parr's English XII vs Australian and New Zealand colonial sides
1864-03-01
Two years after the Stephenson tour, the All-England Eleven captain George Parr led a second English party to Australia and added New Zealand to the itinerary for the first time. The twelve professionals, again playing against odds, lost only one of their thirteen Australian fixtures and introduced overarm bowling — legalised back home midway through their voyage — to colonial spectators who had never seen it.
