Western Australia plays Australia in a first-class match

Western Australia's long sought after first-class match against an Australian team was played at the WACA Ground 19-22 March 1921. Fresh from their 5-0 demolition of England, Warwick Armstrong's Australian XI were the first team to travel across Australia on the transcontinental railway line to the west completed in 1917. Following the match attended by over 12,000 people, the Australian team boarded the RMS Osterley, travelling with the England team to England.
