[edit] Sydney Riot of 1879

The Sydney Riot of 1879 was the first riot to occur at an international cricket match. It threatened the immediate future of England-Australia cricket tours. The problems were exacerbated by the appearance of a letter from Lord Harris in the London press, and a reply from the New South Wales Cricket Association.

• Reply from the New South Wales Cricket Association on 4 June 1879
