Bol In 1859, an English XI, led by Nottinghamshire's George Parr, toured North America in what was the first overseas cricket tour in history. It was to be another nine years before a second team visited. Ned Willsher captained that team of 1868; they played six matches against teams of twenty-two in New York, Montreal, Boston and Philadelphia. Willsher, in his 41st year, was still an accomplished fast bowler. Included in his team was 25-year-old George Freeman, rated by many as the fastest bowler they had ever faced. With Alfred Shaw and George Tarrant to call upon, there would be no let-up for the opposing batsmen. Teams of twenty-two or not, this English eleven proved to be a huge test for their American and Canadian opponents.
