A decade passed and Australia were still receiving heavy battering at the hands of the English. Len Hutton put on an absolute show to lift the reeling England and had them draw the Ashes in the final match of the series.

Hutton's remarkable 364 in the first innings crossed Wally Hammond's 336 as the highest Test score by an individual at that time. England racked up a mountainous 903 runs in the first innings which was also the highest team total at that time.

Australia were wrapped up cheaply for 201 and 123 in their two innings respectively and were comprehensively outscored by Hutton. Injuries to Don Bradman and other premier batsmen didn't help the Aussies' cause, either.
