him 50 wickets in the season and the MCC were out for 303. There was just time for New South Wales to reach 44/0 when the rain washed out the third and fourth days. Fourth Test - Adelaide See Main Article - 1958-59 Ashes series Victoria Country vs MCC After losing the Ashes in Adelaide the MCC team played three one day games. These were not limited overs cricket in the modern sense, but each side played one innings in the day and the first team could declare early to give it time to bowl out the opposition. This was not required in the first game at Wangaratta, Victoria when the Country XI were dismissed for 31 thanks to Peter Loader (5/17), Jim Laker (2/4) and Fred Trueman (1/8). Ted Dexter was out for 8, but Peter Richardson (22) and Raman Subba Row (40) made the runs for a 9 wicket victory. The MCC continued to entertain the crowd and get some batting practice; May made 56, Watson 38, Graveney 50 and Mortimore 50, the Country team using 10 bowlers and Thomlinson taking 3/60 before they ended on 308/8.

The MCC won by 7 wickets and batted on again to make 260/8 with Richardson making 79, Watson 63 and Mortimore 44 and John Stuckings took 3/96. Prime Minister's XI vs MCC Prime Minister Sir Robert Menzies was a keen cricket fan and the match between his Prime Minister's XI and the touring team was one of the social highlights of the tour with an official reception the night before the match. Cricketers can become jaded over official functions and endless speeches as the tour progresses, but Menzies was a marvellous after-dinner speaker and proved to be highly entertaining. Five Australian captains graced his team; Lindsay Hassett, Ian Johnson, Arthur Morris, Ian Craig and Ray
