Lot Details
Including: Mike Gatting, John Emburey, Clive Radley, Allan Border, Andrew Hilditch, Wayne Phillips This match came with the wider context of the 1985 Ashes tour of England by Australia which England won 3-1 with two matches drawn — England thereby regained the Ashes. This Australian touring side had lost several key players to a ‘rebel tour’ of South Africa, weakening the squad considerably. Meanwhile, domestically that season, the County Championship was won by Middlesex, so this Championship-winning Middlesex side was pitted against a genuine (if weakened by defections) Ashes touring squad — Allan Border was the Australian Captain.
