Talk:1948 Ashes series

Proposed merge

Heck, I hate to do this, but see Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Cricket#1948_Ashes_series. The preceeding thread is also relevant. --Dweller (talk) 11:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Squads

It's all very well to talk of the Australian touring team as a squad, but it isn't right to regard the England players who appeared in this series as such. I doubt, for example, that they were ever all gathered together in the same room. (And there weren't such things as central contracts in those days.) The two lists aren't exactly equivalent anyway, because in the England list you have everyone who played a Test in the series (except Emmett), whereas not everyone in the Australian list did. Also Reg Simpson was in the England "squad" twice as 12th man, Johnny Wardle once. Johnlp (talk) 21:22, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

The six which Crapp hit on the first day at Old Trafford - straight over the Warwick Road end sightscreen - was, as far as I can remember, not off Johnson, but Toshack.Delahays (talk) 21:31, 6 March 2019 (UTC)
