New Delhi: One of the famous Test rivalries Ashes is here. Hosts Australia will lock horns with rivals England in the five-match Test series, beginning November 23 in Brisbane. England currently holds the famous urn and will be interesting to see whether they defend it or not.
Australia, on the other hand, playing in home conditions are rated as favourites. However, England has all the ammunition to unsettle the home side. This will be the 70th Ashes series between the two sides. Both teams have won 32 series each, with five series finishing as draws.
Interestingly, England have been whitewashed 5-0 twice in the past three tours and this time the Joe Root-led side is hopeful of a better show.
