What we counting as ashes tours? Would it be 1884?

Alfred Shaw was England's first overseas captain. Other than that to mind I think Billy Gunn?

After that nothing springs toind other than lohmann

The first hattrick fell to someone that series. Antihero Billy, but can't remember for my life what his name was. Spofforth was a demon in the day, but he was an Aussie.
