Local Melbourne Cricket Club fixture
1854-09-30
On 30 September 1854 the Melbourne Cricket Ground, the future cathedral of Australian cricket, hosted its first match. The Melbourne Cricket Club, displaced from its previous home by Australia's first steam railway line, had been granted a fresh ten-acre site in Yarra Park the year before. The ground would within a generation become the most important cricket venue in the southern hemisphere.
