Depsite their loss in 1896, the Australians return home confident of success against the next English touring side. The English bring a strong squad, including the new wonder of English cricket Ranjitsinhji, but they run into a fired up Joe Darling, who will set new batting records with his performance in this series. 

This is part 1 of 2 episodes covering the 1897/98 series. Part 1 was released last week.
