Over the 124-year history of the Ashes Test match series,<br />
<strong>Australia</strong> has won the Ashes 30 times, while England has been<br />
triumphant on 27 occasions. <strong>Australia</strong> had been on a 16-year<br />
winning streak until it lost to England in the 2005 series.<br />
But England was to hold on to the Ashes for only a short time.<br />
It was reclaimed by <strong>Australia</strong> just 462 days after the first victory<br />
for England against an <strong>Australia</strong>n side since 1987. The result<br />
of the 2006–07 Ashes series was sealed on day five of the<br />
third match at Perth’s WACA ground, with <strong>Australia</strong> winning<br />
3–0. <strong>Australia</strong> then went on to sweep the series 5–0, a feat not<br />
accomplished since the 1920–21 season. The summer has also<br />
seen the retirement of <strong>Australia</strong>n Test cricketing heroes – Shane<br />
Warne, Glenn McGrath, Justin Langer and Damian Martyn.<br />
