Australian cricket team in New Zealand in 1927–28

The Australia national cricket team toured New Zealand from February to April 1928 and played six first-class matches including two against the New Zealand national cricket team. This was before New Zealand began playing Test cricket.^[1]

Team[]

Don Bradman, Percy Hornibrook and John Scaife were selected as emergencies, but did not take part in the tour.^[2]

It was a strong team. The Cricketer said that "the majority of the cricketers may be expected to represent the Commonwealth [of Australia] in the Test matches against England a few months hence. J. M. Gregory, in fact, was the only likely man who did not make the trip."^[3]
