​

Once again the biggest cricketing event is in the UK. The Ashes is a five test match series between bitter rivals England (Pommies) and Australia (Convicts)

In 2005 It was England's turn to hold the Urn for 18 months then it was the Convicts moment in 2006/7 down under. Shane Warne taking the final wicket in the 3rd test to regain the Ashes. But since then England have had their ups and downs so have Australia.

Join us on PlanetCricket where you will see the action.​
