English cricket team in Australia in 1924–25
Marylebone Cricket Club organised the England cricket team's tour of Australia in the 1924–25 season. Australia won the Ashes series 4–1.
Results
- First Test (Sydney) – Australia won by 193 runs.[1]
- Second Test (Melbourne) – Australia won by 81 runs.[1]
- Third Test (Adelaide) – Australia won by 11 runs.[1]
- Fourth Test (Melbourne) – England won by an innings and 29 runs.[1]
- Fifth Test (Sydney) – Australia won by 307 runs.[1]
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.[2]
