1804 English cricket season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the 1804 English cricket season, Lord Frederick Beauclerk again topped the batting and bowling records.
Earlier in the year, the January edition of The Sydney Gazette recorded that recent weather had been favourable to cricketers. This is the first definite reference to cricket in Australia, although it is believed that the game had been played there ever since the first colonists and convicts arrived in 1788.
