Is the Aboriginal team more important to Australia than Bradman and the Ashes?

150 years ago, 13 Aboriginal cricketers became the first sporting side from Australia to embark on a tour overeseas when they travelled to England.

Greg de Moore has spent years researching the history of Aboriginal cricket and he believes the Aboriginal team of 1868 is the most important part of Australian cricket's history - ahead of Don Bradman and the Ashes.
