A few depressing ones from an English point of view:

2013/14 is the first five test Ashes series in which an England side has lost all 100 wickets

The first innings at Sydney was the first ever in tests in which all the English top five in the batting order were dismissed for 7 or less.

The 18 players used is the equal highest amount utilised by an away side.
