 * England
 * 1921 - The England XI led by Archie MacLaren inflict the first defeat of the season on the Australians, who had earlier won eight Ashes Tests in a row. MacLaren had maintained throughout the 1921 summer that he could pick a team of amateur cricketers to beat the Australians; when his side was all out for just 43 in the first innings, that seemed unlikely, but they recovered to win by 28 runs.
