The Australian cricket team played 31 first-class matches in England in 1893, including 3 Tests. One of the first-class matches was against the Oxford and Cambridge Universities Past and Present team in Portsmouth. In their first innings, the Australians scored 843 runs, with eight of their batsmen scoring half-centuries. This is the only instance in first-class cricket with eight half-centuries being scored in the same innings.
England won the Test series 1âÂÂ0 with two matches drawn.
As on previous voyages to England, the Australians had a stopover in Colombo and played a match on 5 April against a Ceylon team, which was drawn.
