Results

  • First Test (Sydney) – Australia won by 193 runs.
  • Second Test (Melbourne) – Australia won by 81 runs.
  • Third Test (Adelaide) – Australia won by 11 runs.
  • Fourth Test (Melbourne) – England won by an innings and 29 runs.
  • Fifth Test (Sydney) – Australia won by 307 runs.

    • The first Test included a record 127 run tenth wicket partnership between Johnny Taylor and Arthur Mailey which stood as Australia's best for that wicket until Phillip Hughes and Ashton Agar set a new world record by scoring 163 for the tenth wicket against England in the First Test at Trent Bridge in July 2013.

    Ceylon

    The English team had a stopover in Colombo en route to Australia and played a one-day single-innings match there against the Ceylon national team, which at that time did not have Test status.
