Australian cricket team in New Zealand in 1927–28


The Australia national cricket team toured New Zealand from February to April 1928 and played six first-class matches including two against the New Zealand national cricket team. This was before New Zealand began playing Test cricket.

Team

Don Bradman, Percy Hornibrook and John Scaife were selected as emergencies, but did not take part in the tour.
It was a strong team. The Cricketer said that "the majority of the cricketers may be expected to represent the Commonwealth in the Test matches against England a few months hence. J. M. Gregory, in fact, was the only likely man who did not make the trip."
