The first Australian cricket team to tour England was a group of Aboriginal stockmen. This is their story.
Led by star all-rounder Johnny Mullagh, and wearing caps embroidered with a boomerang and a bat, they delighted crowds with their exceptional skill.
From the creators of Jandamarra, this is the remarkable story of the real first eleven.
