The match was against India on 28-29 November and 1-4 December 1947; it was India's first tour of Australia. The team comprised Bradman (Captain), Brown, Hamence (12th man), Hassett, Ian Johnson, Bill Johnston, Lindwall, McCool, Miller, Morris, Tallon and Toshack; the Manager is also in the group portrait
'The late withdrawal of key (Indian) players ... greatly weakened its side. The strength of Australian cricket at this time further unbalanced the contest, resulting in a 4-0 thrashing in the series' (Webster). This is hardly surprising, considering that ALL of the Australians in this particular team went on the..... More

A vintage photograph (captioned in the negative 'ARS. AFC | Stroud 27/4/18' and 'Photo | Comley'), featuring a team of rugby players wearing ARS-branded jerseys, with Australian servicemen in uniform behind them
