Is the Ashes test series a turning point in cricket history?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, sometimes they go on tours to England for friendly tests.

Your topic is: 'Ashes Tests".

The Ashes series are only between Australia and England. But occasionally the two countries may play a test while on tour that is not Ashes related.

Whoever answered above is probably an indian.... every single test between Australia and England is an Ashes Test.

Correction: Ashes tests are five match series, if a series less than 5 match, that will not be a ashes (But i haven't seen it before )!

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Billy Hamilton of the Philadelphia Phillies scored 196 runs in 1894.

If you're asking about cricket, and English cricket in particular, the player who scored the most runs in a first class season is Denis Compton.

In 1947 Compton scored 3 816 runs for Middlesex, in 50 innings, with a high score of 246; 18 centuries; and 8 not outs at an average of 90.85. He was a chinaman bowler and played in 78 tests for England.

He also played football for Arsenal, winning the English league in 1948, and the FA cup in 1950.

The second highest number of runs in one season is 3 539 scored by Bill Edrich also for Middlesex, and also in 1947.
