Australia played his first match in 1877 against England in Melbourne city. The two counties were not playing often as the travel distance between the two countries were making the player tired and sick. Each team had to travel for forty days to reach the country they were playing against, and usually, the team who were traveling were losing the matches because of their tiredness.
