The 2010–11 Ashes series, known as the Vodafone Ashes Series for sponsorship reasons, is being played in Australia during the 2010–11 cricket season, as part of the England cricket team's tour of Australia. Five Tests are scheduled to take place from 25 November 2010 to 7 January 2011.[1][2] England are the current holders of the urn, having won the most recent series in 2009 by two Tests to one, although Australia achieved a 5–0 whitewash in the 2006–07 series, the previous Ashes series held in Australia.

England currently lead the series 1–0, after an innings victory in the second Test, with three Tests yet to be played.

Background

Up to the start of the 2010–11 Ashes series, Australia led the way with 31 series to England's 29; five had finished as draws. England won the most recent series in 2009 by two Tests to one, but Australia had whitewashed the last one held on home soil, winning 5–0.

Australia and England met in the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 final on 16 May. England won by seven wickets with three overs to spare. The two sides also played each other in England in June and July 2010 in a five-match ODI series as a preview to the upcoming summer. England won the first three ODIs to claim the series, but the Australians won the last two.

The Australians remained in England to face Pakistan, losing both Twenty20 Internationals and drawing a two-Test series 1–1. England, meanwhile, beat Bangladesh 2–1 in a 3-match ODI series and beat Pakistan in a controversial series – 3–1 in a four-match Test series, 2–0 in two T20Is and 3–2 in a five-match ODI series.

In the weeks leading up to the Ashes, Australia faced both India and Sri Lanka in India and Australia respectively. Australia played India in two Tests and three ODIs during October. They lost both Tests, and lost the ODI series 1–0, with the first and third games washed out without any cricket played. Sri Lanka faced the Australians during the early part of November with Sri Lanka winning the only Twenty20 International and winning the ODI series 2–1.

Tickets for the Ashes series started selling on 25 July, 2010 and within a week, many Test days were sold out.[3]

A 17-man Australian squad was announced on 15 November 2010 for the first Ashes Test[5], although they reduced the squad to 13 five days later.[6] The players included in that initial squad but who haven't been part of a final squad are marked with an asterisk below.

On the opening day, Peter Siddle – celebrating his 26th birthday – took a hat-trick and earned his best Test career figures to date with 6/54.[7] He dismissed Cook (caught Watson), Prior (bowled) and Broad (lbw) to take the first Ashes hat-trick since Darren Gough took three wickets in Sydney in 1999.[8][9] Debutant Xavier Doherty also took his first Test wicket by dismissing Ian Bell as England were all out in their first innings for 260.[10][9]

In reply, Australia were reduced to 143/5 before Michael Hussey and Brad Haddin's partnership of 307 runs, a record sixth-wicket partnership at The Gabba, saw them finish on 481 all out.[11] England bowler Steven Finn finished with figures of 6/125 on his Ashes debut, however England conceded a 221-run first innings deficit.[11]

England amassed a huge 517/1 declared in their second innings to overcome their large first innings deficit. Strauss (110) and Cook (235 not out) made a 188-run opening partnership; an English record at the ground, during which they overtook Jack Hobbs and Herbert Sutcliffe as England's highest-scoring pair of opening batsmen.[12][13] Jonathan Trott (135 not out) joined Cook for an unbeaten 329-run partnership before England declared in anticipation for a draw. Cook's score of 235 not out broke Donald Bradman's record for the highest Test score at the Gabba.[14]

With the target at 297 runs from 41 overs for victory, Australia moved to 107/1, with Ponting making a quick 51, before a draw was declared.

For the second Test, Australia made two changes; dropping Mitchell Johnson and Ben Hilfenhaus and bringing in Doug Bollinger and Ryan Harris. England fielded an unchanged side.[16] Australia batting first made their worst start to a Test match in 60 years,[16][17] when they lost the opening three wickets for two runs. Simon Katich was run out before facing a ball, and captain Ricky Ponting for a first-ball duck.[16] Michael Hussey made 93 before being dismissed by Graeme Swann and Australia were bowled out on day one for 245.[16]

On the second day, England captain Andrew Strauss was dismissed for a single in the first over of the day's play.[18] At the close of day two, Alastair Cook had made 136 not out to break the England record for runs scored and minutes at the crease without being dismissed. This consisted of 371 runs in 1,022 minutes of play.[19]

Early on the third morning, Kevin Pietersen reached his first century since March 2009 before Cook was out for 148. Supported first by Paul Collingwood (42) and then Ian Bell (68 not out), Pietersen reached the second double-century of his career. Pietersen was finally out for a Test-best 227 before England declared on 620-5. This was the first time that the England team had passed the 500 run mark in successive innings in the Ashes and left Australia needing 375 runs to make England bat again.[20][21]

Australia began batting early on day four and started a fightback before losing the wicket of Michael Clarke (80) off the last ball of the day. Although Hussey completed a half-century, England took the final six wickets in the final morning session to win by an innings and 71 runs. Steven Finn took the wicket of Hussey before Graeme Swann completed his 10th five-wicket haul in Tests. The result was the 100th time England had beaten Australia.[22]
