The height of every English cricketer's ambition is to win in Australia. It was no different for everyone in the team that beat the Aussies in their own backyard in 1954-55. England had won a series in Australia after 22 years.
Len Hutton, a professional, has led them to Ashes glory in Australia.
"Pray God no professional may ever captain Australia.", Yorkshire's Lord Hawke had famously said.
Hutton, an Yorkshireman, said after they won the series, "I wish Lord Bloody Hawke was here."
