Hopman Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 July 5th 1902 was the start of a sporting event in Sheffield. It was the first (of three!) days of a cricket Test match between England and Australia at Bramall Lane. Bramall Lane is one of two venues in the country to have hosted an FA Cup Final and a Test Match. It was in the next couple of years that Yorkshire Cricket Club moved north to Leeds and so that ground became the HQ of Yorkshire Cricket with a few crumbs tossed our way with matches at Bramall Lane (until the decision was taken to convert to a football stadium) and later at Abbeydale. Australia won by 143 runs, by the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
