[Cricket]

20th Australian XI Tour in Great Britain, 1948 [cover title]

Sydney, The Australian Board of Control for International Cricket Matches, 1948.

Small octavo, 12 pages with a centrefold map of Great Britain showing the venues, plus maps on the inside surfaces of the covers (a track chart of the voyage on RMS 'Strathaird' from Fremantle to London, and a map of London).

Saddle-stapled pictorial card covers with Australia's green and gold colours printed across the top right-hand corner; spine slightly rubbed; staples a trifle oxidised; an excellent copy.

Essentially the itinerary for 'The Invincibles'. The name 'Mr Niehuus' is written lightly in pencil on the front cover; this is probably Richard Niehuus (1917-2005) who 'played in ten first-class matches for South Australia between 1946 and 1948' (cricinfo). Padwick 5081.
