The 1912 Triangular Tournament — Cricket's Failed First Multi-Nation Test

England, Australia, South Africa

1912-08-22

The first attempt at a three-nation Test tournament — England, Australia and South Africa playing a round-robin in England in 1912 — was destroyed by the wettest summer on record, a depleted Australian side stripped of its Big Six, an outclassed South Africa, and crowds that simply didn't turn up. No comparable multilateral Test event was attempted for decades.

The Wettest English Summer Since 1766 — Weather Wrecks the 1912 Triangular

England, Australia, South Africa

1912-08-31

The 1912 Triangular Tournament was played in the wettest English summer since records began in 1766. August 1912 was the coldest, dullest and wettest August of the entire 20th century. With pitches uncovered and Tests three days long, much of the tournament was a sodden farce.
