Australian cricket team in England in 1956
The Australian cricket team toured England in the 1956 season to play a five-match Test series against England for The Ashes.
England won the series 2-1 with 2 matches drawn and therefore retained The Ashes.
The series is most notable for off-spinner Jim Laker's 46 wickets (a record for a 5-Test series) at an average of 9.60,〔(Test Bowling Figures for England, 1956 Ashes )〕 including all ten wickets in the second innings of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, the first time this had been achieved in Test cricket. In that Test, known as Laker's Match, Laker took 19 wickets for 90 runs, still the best match bowling analysis achieved in both Test and all first-class cricket. The cartoonist Roy Ullyett summed up the summer with the picture of a dazed kangaroo in Australian strip and the ditty: ''Here lie the Ashes of '56, skittled by Laker for next to nix. Never forgotten, sorry you thought our wicket rotten'', signed "Love from the groundstaff".〔p75, Peter Arnold, ''The Illustrated Encyclopedia of World Cricket'', W.H. Smith, 1986〕 The second line refers to the Australian complaints that the grass had been shaved off the Old Trafford wicket to help the England spinners.〔p296, E.W. Swanton (ed), The Barclays World of Cricket, Collins, 1986〕
