Australian cricket team in New Zealand in 1966–67
Appearance
While the Australia national cricket team was touring South Africa in February and March 1967, another Australian team captained by Les Favell toured New Zealand to play each of the six provinces and four matches against New Zealand, but these matches did not have Test status. The Australians won against Auckland and Otago but lost to Canterbury and in the first international match against New Zealand; the other six matches were drawn.
The loss to Canterbury was the first time Australia had ever lost a first-class match in New Zealand.[1]
