Abstract: Abstract Control of Australian cricket was fought over between the leading playersPlayers and the emerging cricket authorities through the late nineteenth century and years after the federation. This fight was largely decided by the outbreak of the First World War, with the cricket authorities winning control. Generally, most attention to this conflict is directed towards the boycotting of the 1912 Australian tour of England by six leading Australian playersPlayers, although by this date, the fight had already largely been won by the cricket authorities after a series of earlier skirmishes.
