9. The Ashes:

The Ashes is known as the clash of two continents, two nations and a great rivalry between the England and Australia. The name of this tournament has an interesting story, when England was beaten by Aussies in 1882, one of the Journalists of that era wrote an Obituary, ‘in affectionate remembrance of English cricket which died at The Oval. The body will be cremated and the Ashes taken to Australia.’ The Australian supremacy was reluctantly accepted and then England took a pledge that it will be taking back its ‘Ashes’ and they did it in very next series by winning the tournament. The Ashes are a five Test affair played twice every four years in England and Australia. Overall, Australia has won 32 series, England 32 while five series have been drawn.
