M.J.K. Smith captained the English cricket team in Australia in 1965–66, playing as England in the 1965-66 Ashes series against the Australians and as the MCC in their other matches on the tour. The 5-Tests series ended in 1-1 draw. Although they failed to reclaim the Ashes this was not unexpected as the Australian press labelled them the weakest MCC team to arrive in Australia and the bookmakers were giving odds of 7/2 on their winning the series.

  • Die Ashes Tour 1965/66 war die Tour der englischen Cricket-Nationalmannschaft, die die 43. Austragung der Ashes beinhaltete, und wurde zwischen dem 10. Dezember 1965 und 16. Februar 1966 durchgeführt. Die Ashes Series 1965/66 selbst wurde in Form von fünf 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 1965/66. Die Testserie endete 1–1 unentschieden und Australien behielt somit die Ashes als Sieger der vorherigen Ashes Tour. (de)
