An English cricket team, organised and led by the Surrey amateur Walter Read, toured South Africa from December 1891 to March 1892.

There is uncertainty about the status of South African cricket as a whole in the late nineteenth century and so Read's matches against the main provincial teams, such as Transvaal and Western Province, are not rated first-class.

The only first-class match on the tour is one in March against a South African national team which was retrospectively awarded Test status.

In reply, an innings of 134 from Henry Wood saw Read's side total 369, a lead of 272 that South Africa were never likely to catch.

This Test match still holds the record for the highest aggregate of runs (549) without a leg bye being scored.
