Question: The 1954–55 Ashes series consisted of five cricket Test matches, the Australian team under Ian William Geddes Johnson, was an Australian cricketer who played 45 Test matches as a slow off-break bowler, between which time period of years?

<P0-S0> The 1954–55 Ashes series consisted of five cricket Test matches, each of six days with five hours play each day and eight ball overs. <P0-S1>  It formed part of the MCC tour of Australia in 1954–55 and the matches outside the Tests were played in the name of the Marylebone Cricket Club. <P0-S2>  The England team was captained by Len Hutton, the first professional cricketer to lead an MCC tour of Australia. <P0-S3>  The Australian team under Ian Johnson was confident of victory, but despite losing the First Test by an innings England won the series 3–1 and retained the Ashes. <P0-S4>  They were the only touring team to win a series in Australia between 1932–33 and 1970–71 and only the second of three touring teams to win a series in Australia from behind (the other two being England in 1911–12 and the West Indies in 1992–93). <P0-S5>  The tour is best remembered for the bowling of Frank "Typhoon" Tyson, who was at the time regarded as the fastest, most frightening bowler ever seen in Australia. <P0-S6>  The series saw a phenomenal concentration of bowling prowess on both sides – four of the bowlers had career Test averages under 21, another five under 25 and the remaining four under 30. <P0-S7>  Unsurprisingly therefore, the ball dominated the bat for most of the series and each side only topped 300 in an innings twice. <P0-S8>  Unlike the following series in 1958–59 there were rarely any umpiring disputes and Keith Miller wrote "Mel McInnes, Colin Hoy and Ron Wright were our leading umpires in the 1954–55 M.C.C. tour of Australia, and I have no hesitation in saying that McInnes gave the finest exhibition of umpiring in a Test series that I have experienced". <SEP> <P1-S0> The 1974–75 Ashes series consisted of six cricket Test matches, each match lasted five days with six hours of play each day and eight ball overs. <P1-S1>  It formed part of the MCC tour of Australia in 1974–75 and the matches outside the Tests were played in the name of the Marylebone Cricket Club. <P1-S2>  Ian Chappell's Australians won the series 4–1 and "brutally and unceremoniously wrenched the Ashes" from Mike Denness's England team. <P1-S3>  It was Australia's first series victory over England for ten years and the experience proved popular as 777,563 spectators came through the gates and paid nearly a million Australian dollars for the privilege. <P1-S4>  For the first time the first day of the Third Test at Melbourne was held on Boxing Day in an Ashes series, now a cricketing tradition. <SEP> <P2-S0> The 1950–51 Ashes series consisted of five cricket Test matches, each of six days with five hours play each day and eight ball overs. <P2-S1>  It formed part of the MCC tour of Australia in 1950–51 and the matches outside the Tests were played in the name of the Marylebone Cricket Club. <P2-S2>  The England team under the captaincy of the big-hearted all-rounder Freddie Brown was regarded as the weakest sent to Australia and "without Bedser and Hutton, England would have been little better than a club side". <P2-S3>  Few gave them a chance of regaining the Ashes and they lost the series 4–1 to Lindsay Hassett's Australian team, which had far greater reserves of talent. <P2-S4>  In the Fifth and final Test England beat Australia for the first time since 1938 and ended their unbeaten run of 14 Tests against England, 26 Tests against all teams and 96 games in all cricket since the Second World War. <P2-S5>  After this victory England would defeat Australia in 1953, 1954–55 and 1956. <SEP> <P3-S0> Ian William Geddes Johnson (8 December 1917 – 9 October 1998) was an Australian cricketer who played 45 Test matches as a slow off-break bowler between 1946 and 1956. <P3-S1>  Johnson captured 109 Test wickets at an average of 29.19 runs per wicket and as a lower order batsman made 1,000 runs at an average of 22.92 runs per dismissal. <P3-S2>  He captained the Australian team in 17 Tests, winning seven and losing five, with a further five drawn. <P3-S3>  Despite this record, he is better known as the captain who lost consecutive Ashes series against England. <P3-S4>  Urbane, well-spoken and popular with his opponents and the public, he was seen by his team mates as a disciplinarian and his natural optimism was often seen as naive.
