Talk:1850-51 to 1875-76 Australian cricket seasons

First Game[edit]

To be historically accurate: Victoria didnt exist as a colony until seperation from NSW on 1 July 1851, Tasmania was Van Diemen's Land until 1856. First game was played in February 1851 as such the game was actually between the New South Wales Colony and Van Diemen's Land colony. Gnan garra 13:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This has been noted in the article. In cricket records, all of which were compiled much later, the teams are always referred to by their modern names, which is incorrect. --BlackJack | ^{talk page} 06:31, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
