CT164 Not Out! features items and trophies from the history of Tasmanian cricket, to coincide with the ICC Cricket World Cup matches in Hobart during March 2015.

The first ever first-class cricket match in Australia was played in Launceston in 1851 between Victoria and Tasmania, and since then Tasmanian cricket has gone from strength to strength.

With a proud cricketing history and several current Tasmanian players expected to play in Australia's World Cup team, come and learn more about the state's cricket legends including Charles Eady, Jack Badcock, David Boon and Ricky Ponting.
