It was the first Test of the Australian Ashes summer where the hosts were absolutely thrashed by the Poms at Brisbane.

Batting first, England posted 521, thanks to Patsy Hendren's gutsy knock coming at No 6. He contributed 169 runs in no time at all. Hendren was the last man to get out in that innings. In reply, Australia got bundled out on a mere 122.

Hendren contributed 45 in the second innings to help England set a whopping target of 742 runs. Australia, though, slipped to just 66 runs, leading to a mammoth 675-run humiliating defeat in their own backyard. The match is also remembered as Don Bradman's debut appearance in Test cricket.
