• Notes:
  Australia won the 1934 Ashes series against England, winning two of the matches and losing one, with the other two tests drawn. In the second Test of the series at Lord's, known as Verity's Match, left-arm spinner Hedley Verity took 15 wickets to hand England their only victory in a Lord's Ashes Test in the twentieth century. The last two Tests of the series were notable for the prodigious runscoring of Bill Ponsford and Donald Bradman, who shared partnerships of 388 at Headingley (scoring 181 & 304 respectively) and 451 at the Oval (scoring 266 & 244 respectively) in Ponsford's final Test.
