Ceylon

[edit]

The English team had a stopover inColomboen 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]

Controversies

[edit]

Off the field, English captain Gilligan was investigated by theCommonwealth Investigative Branch due to his fascist links, as an active member of theBritish Fascists. Gilligan attempted to recruit for the organisation and establish branches throughout the country, although no negative outcomes occurred for Gilligan.^[1]

The third test was controversial, as Australian captain Collins well known for his gambling, was reported to have been offered £100 to throw the match. Despite his denials, including vowing to "throw the man downstairs". Collin's bowling choices on the final day were questioned as Australia only won by 11 runs.^[3]
