Ray Illingworth captained the English cricket team in Australia in 1970–71, playing as England in the 1970–71 Ashes series against the Australians and as the MCC in their other matches on the tour. They had a successful tour; however, it was an acrimonious one, as Illingworth's team often argued with their own management and the Australian umpires. When they arrived, the Australian selector Neil Harvey called them "rubbish", and others labelled them "Dad's Army" because of the seniority of the players, whose average age was over 30, but these experienced veterans beat the younger Australian team. They are the only touring team to play a full Test series in Australia without defeat.

  • Die Ashes Tour 1970/71 war die Tour der englischen Cricket-Nationalmannschaft, die die 46. Austragung der Ashes beinhaltete, und wurde zwischen dem 27. November 1970 und 17. Februar 1971 durchgeführt. Die Ashes Series 1970/71 selbst wurde in Form von sieben Testspielen zwischen Australien und England ausgetragen. Austragungsorte waren jeweils australische Stadien. Die Tour beinhaltete neben der Testserie eine Reihe weiterer Spiele zwischen den beiden Mannschaften im Winter 1970/71. Die Testserie wurde von England mit 2–0 gewonnen, die ebenfalls erstmals durchgeführte ODI-Serie mit einem durchgeführten Spiel wurde durch Australien mit 1–0 gewonnen. (de)
