Match notes
  • General
  • Rain prevented play starting as the players were entering the field. A conference between the Australian Board, the MCC Manager, and two MCC Officials lead to the match being abandoned and replaced by a limited overs match which was later recognised as the first ever ODI.
  • The MCC tour schedule was rearranged to include an additional Test at Melbourne on 21,22,23,25,26 January.
  • Whilst the Australian Board of Control recognised this match as an official Test to be included in match statistics, nearly all statisticians around the world do not do so.
