Past The Ashes Editions

• The 2023 Ashes

  The last game, which took place in England, was a truly gripping series that kept fans on the edge of their seats right up until the very end. With their offensive "Baseball" style, England wanted to get back the urn. But Australia, which came in as the winners, showed a huge amount of toughness. There were many exciting changes and twists in the show. Australia beat England in the first two Tests, which were played at Edgbaston and Lord's. A big problem with the Lord's Test was that Alex Carey stumped Jonny Bairstow, which led to a heated argument about the spirit of the game. Even though England was down 2-0, they made an amazing comeback and won the Third Test at Headingley thanks to a great combination between Harry Brook and Chris Woakes. The rain made it hard for England to win the Fourth Test at Old Trafford, and the game ended in a tie. Since Australia had already won the last series, they kept the Ashes. Even though England won the Fifth Test at The Oval and tied the series at 2-2, it wasn't enough to win back the urn. Usman Khawaja and Mitchell Starc were two of Australia's best players. Zak Crawley and Chris Woakes were two of England's best.

• The 2021-2022 Ashes

  As part of this series, Australia beat England badly on their home turf. The Australian team, led by Pat Cummins, was in great shape, even though they had to follow strict COVID-19 rules. England had a hard time getting used to the fast and bouncy Australian pitches, and their batting order often fell apart when they were under a lot of stress. In his first game, Scott Boland became famous quickly, especially in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG, where he destroyed England's batting by taking 6 wickets for 7 runs. Travis Head was Australia's best batter and always scored important runs. The series showed how important it is to play Test cricket at home, with Australia's bowlers making the most of the conditions.

• The 2019 Ashes

  Many people remember this series as one of the most exciting Ashes matches in recent years, mostly because of two amazing efforts by individuals. Steve Smith's amazing run-scoring helped Australia win the first few games of the series after he got back from a ban for messing with the ball. He got an amazing 774 runs in just seven innings, with three hundred and two fifties, giving him an average of 110.57. But Ben Stokes' unbeaten 135 in the Third Test at Headingley was one of the best innings in the history of Test matches. It led England to an unlikely one-wicket victory while they chased a huge goal of 359. This match became a classic right away because it showed how exciting and unpredictable Test cricket can be. Even though England did great, Australia kept the urn even though the series ended 2-2 because they had won the first game.

• The 2017-2018 Ashes

  In the same way, as in 2021-2022, Australia dominated this series at home. Steve Smith was once again Australia's best batter. He scored an amazing 687 runs at an average of 137.40, with three centuries. Australia's fast bowlers, especially Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, took full advantage of the home conditions and kept getting wickets. Australia was strong all around, and England had a hard time matching that. Australia won the series 4-0, and they won back the Ashes.

• The 2015 Ashes

  The most recent win for England was in this match when they easily beat Australia at home. With the bat, Joe Root was very important for England. Stuart Broad's amazing 8 for 15 in the Fourth Test at Trent Bridge, which limited Australia to just 60 runs in their first innings, became a famous moment. This series showed how well England can use their home edge. Against the Australian batters, swing and seam bowling worked very well.
