some history for The Oval Cricket Ground
This is where it all began. The first-ever Test on English soil was played here in September 1880, resulting in an
England win over Australia by five wickets, with W. G. Grace scoring a hundred on debut, and this is where a Test
series in England usually (though not always) ends. The Oval Cricket Ground contd.
More pertinently, this is the historic venue where the legend of the 'Ashes' was born a couple of years after the
inaugural Test, in the second match in August 1882 to be played on English soil and the ninth in Test history. The Oval Cricket Ground contd.
Australia batting first, was bowled out for 63. England, in reply, could muster only 101, the great F. R. Spofforth
