Answer 1

The initial cricket matches in Australia were played between Aborigines and British settlers, following cricket's introduction by the British.

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial cricket matches in Australia were played between Aborigines and British settlers. Cricket was introduced to Australia by the British who settled in the continent.

Even as the British established prison colonies for convicts from Great Britain, cricket emerged as a popular pastime. As the descendant population of British settlers grew, alongside the Aborigines, cricket became a sport that saw matches between these two groups.
