That’s how the Ashes Started between Australia and England
The Ashes is a historic cricket series played between England and Australia since 1882. It originated after Australia’s first Test victory on English soil in 1882, when a satirical obituary in a British newspaper declared that “English cricket had died”. The winning team is presented with a replica of the Ashes urn, though the original terracotta urn’s contents are debated. Australia has won the most Ashes with 34 victories, while England has won 32. The series is played biennially, with the team that most recently won holding the Ashes. If the series is drawn, the defending champion retains the trophy.
