Australia and England have played out the fiercest rivalry in the sport of cricket since The Ashes began in 1882. The battles have been even throughout the history of the duel, with the Aussies edging the series won by one as a result of their 33 triumphs to the Three Lions’ 32. The Baggy Greens have been more successful in individual Test matches, boasting 136 wins compared to England’s 108 – the majority of which came in a dominant hold of the urn for 16 years from 1989 to 2005. There has been little between the teams in recent years, although the 2-2 draw between the sides in 2019 allowed Australia to retain The Ashes heading into the 2021/22 series down under. There will be no doubt be more classics to add to the number of matches that have been played over the years, but there have been some truly remarkable games to have occurred over the last 15 years. We’ll now look back at three of the best Tests that have been defining in the history of the Ashes. Headingley 2019 ...

The deal estimated at $20 million when it was signed in August 2017, with the company having naming rights sponsorship of domestic Test matches just one summer into the three-year deal. David Warner was the mastermind behind the scandal which has seen him, skipper Steve Smith and Cameron Bancroft hit with long-term bans. Sports apparel maker Asics Corp had also terminated sponsorship contracts with both Warner and Bancroft.

Ahead of the 2017-18 Ashes Series, both sides Australia and England have been involved in intriguing warm up tests but it’s Aussies who have enjoyed the best of the exchanges.

England leading the 2015 Ashes series 2-1, while Australia planning to make a come back in the fourth Test. Nottingham: The hosts lead 2-1 in the five-match test series heading into a fourth Test at Trent Bridge, which gets underway on Thursday.

As England’s brilliantly inconsistent Ashes series continued with a pulsating eight-wicket victory in the third test match, one figure humbly played a straight bat to the theory that his feisty first innings knock was the pivotal moment of the encounter. Moeen Ali remains an enigma; and yet he has cemented himself as an integral part of this England side. In which capacity he excels the most, however, is still yet to be confirmed. His position as first choice spin bowler is still one that poses as many questions as problems it solves. Is he good enough to be his country’s premier tweaker? Does he turn the ball enough to be considered an international-standard spinner? Is there any other English spin bowler out there that could do a better job? Australia remain Ashes favourites , meaning England may need to answer these questions before the series concludes. The stats suggest that Ali is still finding his feet at international level. In 25 innings he has taken 42 wickets at a...
