2 unusual facts about Crystal Palace Park Cricket Ground


Crystal Palace Park Cricket Ground

Ten years would pass before first-class cricket returned to Crystal Palace, when in 1880 the Players played the Australians during their tour of England.

A further eight years elapsed from that match to the next first-class match at the ground, which came in 1888 when an England XI played the Australians during their tour of England, with three further first-class matches on the ground from 1880 to 1900, which included CE de Trafford's XI playing the Australians in 1896, the South playing the Australians in 1899 and WG Grace's XI.
