The Ashes, the legendary cricket series between England and Australia, began in 1877 with the first-ever Test match played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The rivalry quickly grew after England lost to Australia on home soil in 1882, prompting a satirical obituary in The Sporting Times declaring that “English cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia.” 

1924/25 Ashes

The 1924–25 Ashes series was a five-Test contest played in Australia from December 1924 to March 1925 and ended in a 4–1 victory for the hosts under captain Herbie Collins. Arthur Gilligan led England.
