England were 2-0 up after 3 of 5 in 1977, but then they were winning it back.When was the last time we retained/won the Ashes in three tests? Must be Donkey's years.
1928 is the answer. Though England's wins from 1977 to 87 were in 6-test series so retention after 3 wasn't really on the cards. We were last 2-0 up after the third (with two to play) in 1977 but were not holding the Ashes going in.When was the last time we retained/won the Ashes in three tests? Must be Donkey's years.
Thanks, quite a few gone by then. Wonder how that compares with other series.1972.
Does that count as one of our greatest sides then?If ding dong gets another century soon then it'll be the first time ever that England will have had three batsman with 20 centuries and three bowlers with 200 wickets.
Beat Oz 5-1 over there in the Packer era I thinkWhat's England's biggest series win?
So which twonk will say this 4-0 win isn't better ever though we won't lose a game?Beat Oz 5-1 over there in the Packer era I think
I still reckon the 10-11 win is better than this one regardless of what happens. There's probably a thread in that though.So which twonk will say this 4-0 win isn't better ever though we won't lose a game?
No argument. 2010/11 was an absolute pasting. This series has been won because we've been less **** than Australia.I still reckon the 10-11 win is better than this one regardless of what happens. There's probably a thread in that though.
Absolutely and even if we win down under in the winter (which I fully expect) then that won't come close to 10/11 either. Best sleepless 6 weeks ever.No argument. 2010/11 was an absolute pasting. This series has been won because we've been less **** than Australia.
