MCC tour of Australia in 1958–59
The Marylebone Cricket Club tour of Australia in 1958-59 under the captaincy of Peter May was its twelfth since it took official control of overseas tours in 1903-1904. The touring team played as England in the 1958-59 Ashes series against Australia, but as the MCC in all other games. In all there were 20 matches; 5 Test matches (which they lost 4-0), 12 other First Class matches (which they won 4-0) and 3 minor matches (which they won 3-0). It was billed as the strongest MCC team ever to tour Australia and dominated the early matches, and its heavy defeat in the Test series was seen as one of the great upsets in cricket.
