When the First World War ended inNovember 1918, thousands ofAustralian servicemen were inEurope as members of the FirstAustralian Imperial Force (AIF) andmany remained until the spring of1919. In England, a new first-classcricket season was planned, the firstsince 1914, and an idea that came tofruition was the formation of anAustralian touring side made up ofservicemen. The Australian ImperialForce Touring XI was formed, initiallyunder the captaincy of pre-war Testplayer Charlie Kelleway. Kellewaydeparted after only six matchesfollowing a dispute about thefixtures list. A players’ meetingelected future Test player HerbieCollins as team captain for theremainder of the tour, despite thefact that Collins’ military rank waslance corporal and there were sevenofficers in the party.

For the first time in several years, thecaptaincy remained unchanged forsuccessive major tours. The tourselection was criticised, too manyfast bowlers and not enoughbatsman, the selection of Denness ascaptain and the non selection of JonSnow. In addition Boycott withdrewstating he was not fit enoughmentally to return to Test cricket. Notgood omens for the tour and itproved to be the case. England weredestroyed by Lillee and Thomson andlost the series 4-0 with one Testdrawn. Denness stood down fromthe captaincy and from playing dueto lack of form just prior to the startof the fourth Test and John Edrichtook over for this match. Dennessreturned to the captaincy in the firthTest which was lost but against allthe odds in the sixth Test, Englandbeat Australia by an innings and four

runs with Denness scoring 188
