International cricket history tells that Mulag was the captain of the Australian team that went on a foreign tour for the first time in 1868. Under his captaincy, the Australian team went on a tour of England. Johnny Mulag scored a total of 1698 runs in 71 innings of 45 matches played in his international Test career. He also did well in bowling. He has 257 wickets in his account. Mulag was a prolific all rounder cricketer.
Significantly, Johnny Mullagh also played a Boxing-Day Test match in 1866 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (Jonny Mullagh). On this medal, the picture of team Australia going on a foreign tour for the first time is inscribed.
