Ashes is an immensely prestigious and historic cricket tourney played between the two cricketing giants namely England and Australia. Over the decades, these two teams have produced spectacular performances, trying to get the better of the other.
These two titans have pushed each other beyond their limits and deservedly reaped rewards for their hard work. It is worth noting that the Australian cricket team have won the Ashes a record 34 times. On the other end of the spectrum, the England cricket team have won the Ashes 32 times.
Case in point, it is always tough to smash sixes in The Ashes. The bowlers will be absolutely spot-on in their lines and lengths. However, when the bowlers miss out on their variations, they are bound to get penalized by the batters.
