New Zealand cricket team in Australia in 1913–14

(Redirected from New Zealand cricket team in Australia in 1913-14) International cricket tour

The New Zealand cricket team toured Australia from early December 1913 to late January 1914, playing four first-class matches against state teams and five other matches.

The team

Three of New Zealand’s leading batsmen, David Collins, Harold Lusk and Arthur Sims, were unavailable. The provincial cricket associations were asked to submit the names of suitable players from their regions. Out of 40 players nominated, 14 were eventually chosen.

The New Zealanders won the first first-class match against Queensland, lost to New South Wales and Victoria, and drew with South Australia.
