International cricket tour
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The England cricket team toured Australia in the 1950–51 season to play a five-match Test series against Australia for The Ashes. The tour was organised by Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). The team was called England in its international matches, and MCC in others.
Australia won the Test series 4–1, and therefore retained The Ashes.
