How England performed

The 1948–49 series in Australia ended in a 0–1 defeat for England, who had retained the Ashes in 1937.

The only decisive result came in the first Test at Adelaide. Australia made 213 and 173/5 declared, and England were bowled out for 72 and 128 to lose by 186 runs. At Melbourne England again trailed heavily, making 118 against 265, but after Australia declared on 158/4 they held out on 171/7 for a draw. The final Test, in Sydney, was also drawn: Australia made 272 to England's 172, and England reached 205/4 in their second innings.
