The team was captained by Andrew Stoddart and, except in the Test matches when it was called England, it was generally known as A. E. Stoddart's XI. The playing strength of the team was weakened by Stoddart acceding to a request from the Australians to bring “new blood”. As a result established players including JT Brown, Albert Ward and Bobby Peel were not selected.[1]Stoddart only played in the third and fourth Test matches, following the news before the first Test that his mother had died. [2] Archie MacLaren captained England in the first, second and fifth Tests. England won the first Test comfortably by nine wickets after Ranjisinhji played one of the great Test innings. Weakened by illness he batted at number 7 he scored 175 in 223 minutes, hitting 26 fours, a performance which set up the victory.[3] Australia then emphatically won the next four Tests.Australia, captained by Harry Trott, therefore regained The Ashes. Australia were well served in batting by Joe Darling (he scored 537 runs, including three centuries), Clem Hill and Charlie McLeod; and in bowling by Ernie Jones, Monty Noble and Hugh Trumble. J. T. Hearne and Tom Richardsonwere England's most successful bowlers but the team was largely let down by its batting, with only MacLaren and Ranjitsinhji earning any distinction.The English team played a total of 23 matches on tour: five Tests; seven first-class matches against state teams; and eleven minor matches against local teams. In the state matches, Stoddart's XI won three, drew three and lost one.[4]Contents1Players2Test series summary2.1First Test2.2Second Test2.3Third Test2.4Fourth Test2.5Fifth Test3References4Annual reviews5Further reading6External linksPlayers[edit]The English party consisted of thirteen players, twelve of whom played for England in the Test series:[5][6][7][8]Jack Board (Gloucestershire; wicketkeeper; did not play in any of the Test matches)Johnny Briggs (Lancashire)Frank Druce (Cambridge University and Surrey)Tom Hayward (Surrey)J.
