Langfield 3, 2, 3, 2, 2, 1 =13
Boulger 2, 3 =5
Australia Total = 57
The heat details above, as published in the Speedway Star, show a difference between the heat details and the individual and team scorers/score for that match report. The team scores show that Australia beat England 58-50 but the heat details record a 57-51 score. I have tried to reconcile the two different scores but have been unable to locate where the error(s) may be. Unfortunately, the BSPA Handbook was no longer published and its successor, Websters Speedway Mirror, did not record the result

Notes Interesting to note that the programme for the 4th Test Match in the series (Newcastle) refers to the match as "The 235th Official Test Match" !
The England team manager on this tour was Phil Mountford, who has supplied the missing details of the matches at Adelaide and Newcastle. The Australian team manager was Jim Airey.
This was England's most successful tour of Australia of all time - they were never beaten, niether in official Tests or in challenge matches
