This is the moment for which England’s cricket fans have waited for 25 years…. England win The Ashes in Australia at the end of the 2010/11 series tour. Is this the rebirth of English Cricket?
It may have taken a quarter of a century to achieve, but last week England finally won the ashes in Australia following a 3-1 test victory. The Ashes is probably the most celebrated international cricket tournament, and is played biennially in England and Australia. As well as being the most famous cricket tournament, The Ashes series is also the oldest, arguably dating back to March 1877.
The Ashes will next be played in England. It is set to be a ferocious series pitting old sporting enemies against one another. When in England, the series is played at a variety of cricket grounds during the summer, and offers a fantastic opportunity for corporate hospitality.
