AUS vs ENG 1st Ashes Test Live: What is Ashes Cricket ?
The Ashes is a cricket series fought exclusively between England and Australia because of the specific historical events that led to the name “The Ashes”. The rivalry started in 1882 after Australia’s first-ever Test victory over England on English soil, when a satirical obituary in an English newspaper declared that English cricket had died and its “ashes” would be taken to Australia. The following year, a subsequent England tour to Australia became a quest to “regain the ashes,” solidifying the name and the two-nation rivalry.
