The team played as MCC in the non-Test fixtures and as England in the five Test matches.

They played 14 first-class matches including the Tests, winning 7 times with 3 draws and 4 defeats.

Wisden has ignored the ruling and includes the match in the career figures of all the players who took part, including record-breaking players such as Wilfred Rhodes, Jack Hobbs and Frank Woolley.
