Description:
M.C.C. Tour to Australia and New Zealand 1974-75: official M.C.C. Team sheet fully signed in pen by the whole touring party of 19, including Denness (Capt.), Edrich (Vice-Capt.), Amiss, Grieg, Knott and Willis; mounted together with an official M.C.C. Tour badge and the team tie. (3 items). Ian Chappell's Australians won the test series 4–1 and 'brutally and unceremoniously wrenched the Ashes' from Mike Denness' England team. It was Australia's first Ashes victory for ten years and the experience proved popular as 777,563 spectators came through the gates. For the first time, the first day of the third test at Melbourne was held on boxing day in an Ashes series, now a cricketing tradition.
