Warren Bardsley became the first player to score two 100's in an Ashes test; a feat since completed by Steve Smith, Arthur Morris, Steve Waugh and Matthew Hayden. England have to go back to Denis Compton, Wally Hammond and Herbert Sutcliffe. (Rory Burns history is calling?)

South Africa won their first test match and defeated England in a 5 match Test series, innovations in bowling by Reggie Schwarz, pictured, and 3 other googly bowlers were only part of the story.

Australia call in at South Africa on the way home from England, the first Test matches between these 2 sides. Charles "Buck" Llewellyn was the only non-white cricketer to play for South Africa until 1992.
