Abstract: Abstract If the clubs in the capital cities of the respective colonies/states were the building blocks of Australian cricket, then what exactly did they build on top of that? The answer of course is that the clubs, in conjunction with each other, formed competitions in their respective cities to play against one another and created associations to both govern these competitions and to organize representative teams to play against the other colonies/states. Later, these state-based cricket associations formed the Australian Board of Control of International CricketAustralian Board of Control of International Cricket in 1905 to organize Australian tours overseas and tours of overseas teams of Australia.
