| *This was originally scheduled to be a 5-match series. The first match was at Maryborough (on 22.11), but was later reported to have been made void due to "programming discrepancies". Details were Australia 57 (S.Langdon 13, Poole 12, Rose 10, Bear 8, Gary Allan 7, Titman 5, Rivett 2) England 51 (Cox 16, P.Collins 11, Doncaster 10, N.Collins 6, Hagon 5, Carr 2, Farmer 1). After the three matches at Brisbane, a fifth match was held at Liverpool, but only over 13 heats and so it did not qualify as a Test Match. Details were Australia 44 (Regeling 12, Chris Watson 10, Poole 5, Davies 5, Butler 4, Brian Nixon 4, Todd Wiltshire 4) England 33 (Doncaster 12, Cox 8, Carr 6, Hagon 5, N.Collins 1, Bloomfield 1, Farmer 0) |
