Teams who had successful test tours to England.

Australia- 1926 to 1953

The greatest tourists to England.

The time period which witnessed the Great Depression and World War-2 was also the brightest for Australian cricket as it saw the emergence of arguably the greatest cricketer in the history of the game, Sir Donald Bradman.

Right from the 1930 tour in which Bradman scored a mammoth 974 runs, Australia had the stranglehold over the ashes for a long time except for 1932-33. Bradman not only tormented England as a batsman but also lead them magnificently. The Aussies produced a superlative performance in 1948, a tour in which they were undefeated in all first-class and Test matches.

The period also witnessed the emergence of stars like Miller, Harvey, O'Reilly, Morris to name a few and hence the team was a complete unit bolstered by the Don. Excluding the tests played during the 1926 and 1953 tours, Australia played 19 tests winning 9, losing 3 and settled for a draw 7 times.
