The South Africa national cricket team toured Australia in the 1952–53 season and played 5 Test matches against Australia. The series was drawn 2–2, the first time a rubber between the two sides had not been won by Australia. From Australia, the South African side moved on to play two Test matches, two other first-class matches and one minor match in New Zealand – see this article. On the return from New Zealand, the team played one further match against Western Australia in Perth. On the Australian legs of the tour, including the Test matches, 16 first-class matches were played, of which four were won by the South Africans, three lost, and nine drawn. Of the six minor matches in Australia, three were won and three drawn. In New Zealand, one Test match was won by the South Africans, and all other matches were drawn. ==South African team== The South African side was captained by Jack Cheetham.
