The 1912 English cricket season saw the much-criticised Triangular Tournament of Test Matches between England, Australia and South Africa. The contest was effectively ruined by one of the wettest summers on record and was never repeated.
However during the tournament England retained the Ashes in the 27th test series between the two sides with England winning 1-0.[1]
