English cricket team in Australia in 1897–98

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

International cricket tour

AnEngland cricket team touredAustralia in the1897–98 season to play a five-matchTest series against theAustralia national cricket team. The team wascaptained byAndrew 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 includingJT Brown,Albert Ward andBobby Peel were not selected.^[1]

Stoddart only played in the third and fourthTest matches, following the news before the first Test that his mother had died.Archie MacLaren captained England in the first, second and fifth Tests.^[1] England won the first Test comfortably by ninewickets 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.^[2] Australia then emphatically won the next four Tests.

Australia, captained byHarry Trott, therefore regainedThe Ashes. Australia were well served inbatting byJoe Darling (he scored 537runs, including threecenturies),Clem Hill andCharlie McLeod; and inbowling byErnie Jones,Monty Noble andHugh Trumble.J. T. Hearne andTom Richardson were England's most successful bowlers but the team was largely let down by its batting, with only MacLaren andRanjitsinhji earning any distinction.

The English team played a total of 23 matches on tour: five Tests; sevenfirst-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.^[3]
