The Lane Cove National Park is a protected national park, located within metropolitan Sydney, in New South Wales, Australia. The 372-hectare national park is situated about 10 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district and features various vegetation types, such as, wet and dry sclerophyll forest, heathland and tidal flats; the park consists of land near the banks of the Lane Cove River, which flows south-east into Sydney Harbour. It extends to the outskirts of Pennant Hills and Wahroonga at its northern boundaries; the park includes areas of land which are part of Ku-ring-gai and Hornsby local government areas with small areas of the park in Willoughby, Lane Cove and Hunter's Hill local government areas on the banks of the lower reaches of the river. The park is surrounded on all sides by developed suburban areas and except for the upper northwestern region is never more than a kilometre wide. Much of the park is of rugged terrain on the slopes of the river valley and covered by dense bush.

The characteristics of the bush vary depending upon soils and topography. Parts of the park are affected by weed infestations, such as Fiddens Fairyland; the central section of the park, between De Burghs Bridge on Ryde Road and Fullers Bridge, was set aside as a park in the 1920s and developed with picnic areas interspersed in the bush along the banks of the river. The majority of these picnic areas are located between the Fuller's Road bridge and the road that leads towards the Tourist Park. North of this point the area becomes more rugged and there are no picnic areas until the Tunks Hill area, away from the river behind the garden nursery on Lane Cove Road. A weir was constructed in the 1930s near Fullers Bridge which converted the middle section of the river from tidal salt-water to a fresh-water area with constant water level suitable for recreational use in rowing boats and canoes; this area was called Lane Cove River Park. In 1982, the Government of New South Wales took over direct control of the park, called Lane Cove Regional Park.

Various nearby areas of undeveloped government land near the river upstream and downstream from the central area including an area around Pennant Hills Park has been added to the national park. It was renamed Lane Cove National Park in 1992. A fish ladder has been constructed next to the weir to enable Australian bass to access the freshwater breeding grounds upstream of the weir. Fishing is allowed in parts of the Lane Cove River as per restrictions managed by NSW Department of Primary Industries; the Lane Cove National Park is popular with walkers and cyclists. The Lane Cove River Tourist Park, operated by the NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, is located within Lane Cove National Park; the main walking track along the Lane Cove River forms part of the Great North Walk from Sydney CBD to Newcastle. This track incorporates a number of old tracks that were, in old logging trails. Common native plant species throughout the park include Grass-trees, Smooth-barked apples, Old man banksias, Flannel flowers, Scribbly gums, Wonga Wonga vines.

The park is home to a variety of native bird species, including Brushturkeys, Superb Fairywrens, Crimson Rosellas, Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos, Rainbow Lorikeets, Eastern Whipbirds. Non-native birds such as Common Mynas and Red-Whiskered Bulbuls occupy the park. Common reptiles include the Eastern Water Dragon and Lace Monitor, whilst common mammals include Swamp Wallabies and Echidnas; the parks position in the middle of a major metropolis necessitates compromises between the social desire for maintaining a pristine environment, the need for urban development. Two examples of this compromise are: The M2 motorway crosses the National Park at Epping and is visible for kilometers to bushwalkers traveling along Terry's Creek. In 2014 Sydney Water began rebuilding a 3.3 kilometre section of wastewater pipe located beside Terrys Creek, running through bushland between Forrester Park and Browns Waterhole in the Lane Cove National Park, South Turramurra. This involved upgrading access tracks to the pipeline.

In English cricket since the first half of the 18th century, various ad hoc teams have been formed for short-term purposes which have been called England to play against, Marylebone Cricket Club or an individual county team. The key factor is that they were non-international and there is a significant difference between them and the official England cricket team which takes part in international fixtures. Conceptually, there is evidence of this sort of team being formed, or at least mooted, since the 1730s, they have always been "occasional elevens" but have invariably been strong sides. A typical example would be a selection consisting of leading players drawn from several county teams; the earliest known mention of the concept occurs in a report by the London Evening Post of 7 to 9 September 1734 which states that the London Cricket Club, being "desirous of playing one more match before the season is expired, do challenge to play with any eleven men in England". The challenge excluded members of Croydon Cricket Club, with.

It is possible that challenges of this sort had been issued but no records of them have been found. There had been matches involving, for example, a team representing one county against a team bearing a patron's name and it is possible that teams of the latter type included players from a wide geographical area. In the 1730s, "any eleven men in England" would in practice have come from the southeastern counties only: e.g. Berkshire, Hampshire, Middlesex, Sussex; the majority of such teams were labelled "England" and sometimes the term "all-England" was used loosely in a generic sense but speaking, the teams represented "the Rest of England". The "all England" term per se was first used in reports of two Kent v England matches in 1739; the first was at Bromley Common on Monday, 9 July, billed as "eleven gentlemen of that county and eleven gentlemen from any part of England, exclusive of Kent". Kent, described as "the unconquerable county", won by "a few notches"; the second match was at the Artillery Ground in Finsbury on Monday, 23 July.

This game was drawn and a report includes the phrase "eleven picked out of all England". Top-level cricket at that time, was limited to the southeastern counties. Before these matches, there were instances of teams representing a number of counties. On Thursday, 28 August 1729, a match between Edwin Stead's XI and Sir William Gage's XI was held at Penshurst Park, near Tunbridge Wells in Kent; the match had the alternative title of Kent v Sussex & Hampshire. It played for 100 guineas with some thousands watching, it seems to have been the first known innings victory as Gage "got in one hand, as the former did in two hands, so the Kentish men threw it up". A contemporary report states that " turned the scale of victory, which for some years past has been on the Kentish side". Given a 1728 reference to the superiority of Kent in the 1720s, it would seem that only a team representing three other counties had the strength to compete against them. After 1739, "England" became a generic term used to denote numerous teams over the next two hundred years.

They invariably have important match status, depending on the quality and/or status of their opponents. Sometimes, the all-England teams were given names like "The Rest", which more describes them vis-à-vis their opponents. CricketArchive lists 29 matches involving teams called England or The Rest between 1739 and 1778; these are all important matches but only one, England v Kent in 1744, has a scorecard. The earliest important match, designated "first-class" by CA was between a Hampshire county team and one called England on Broadhalfpenny Down at Hambledon in Hampshire on 24 June 1772. CA lists all matches involving teams called England without differentiating between international and non-international, so it seems they assume the "England" team of 1772 to be a direct predecessor of the modern England Test team. Not helpfully, CA uses the term "England XI" and has another list, starting in 1872, of matches played by this team, understood to be the England national team when playing non-international matches on tour.

CA's list of England XI matches begins five years before Test cricket started and most of the early matches are between a university team and what is loosely termed an England XI. The name "All-England" took on a specific meaning in 1846 when William Clarke's All-England Eleven known as the AEE, was founded as a touring team of leading players, its purpose being to take advantage of the new railway network and play matches at city venues in the North of England. Clarke's team was indeed a top-class side worthy of its title as, in 1846, it consisted of himself, Joe Guy, George Parr, William Lillywhite, Jemmy Dean, William Denison, Will Martingell, Fuller Pilch, Alfred Mynn, Nicholas Wanostrocht and William Hillyer, their matches in Sheffield and Leeds were a huge success and profitable for Clarke himself, careful to pay his players more than Marylebone Cricket Club did and so keep them interested. He kept the surplus for himself; the AEE continued for several years to showcase the best players of the day.

Subsequent additions to the squad included John Wisden of Sussex, William Dorrinton of Kent, Tom Sewell senior and his son Tom Sewell junior of Surrey. Because of its strength the AEE general
