[1] Yorkshire won their third consecutive County Championship title and, as in 1901, went through the season with only one defeat.
The third Test, the only one ever to be played at Bramall Lane, saw Australia win by 143 runs, following a brilliant century by Victor Trumper before lunch on the first day.
In the fourth Test Australia won by three runs, despite 11 wickets from recalled bowler Bill Lockwood.
Tate hit a four, but was bowled by Jack Saunders with the fourth ball of his over.
Harry Altham wrote: "From start to finish of the season, on every sort of wicket, against every sort of bowling, Trumper entranced the eye, inspired his side, demoralized his enemies, and made run-getting appear the easiest thing in the world.
