The Ashes has become one of the great events in sport and to get you in the mood, we have produced a stunning 48-page preview of what is set to be a mouthwatering winter ahead Down Under.
The Ashes has become one of the great events in sport – full of bitter animosity, spiteful sledges, graceful batters, snarling bowlers, bouncers, sixes and scallywags.
These days, there are not so many of the latter, more’s the pity, but it should clear the scene for cricket to dominate the headlines in the 74th Ashes series that will start on November 21 and should run to January 8 – as long as England don’t crumble beforehand.
And to get you in the mood, we have produced a stunning 48-page preview of what is set to be a mouthwatering winter ahead Down Under.
Our special edition profiles both sides, we have special features on the key men – Stokes, Pat Cummings, Joe Root and Steve Smith – and take a look at how the Aussie top order will cope against England’s pace attack.
Stuart Broad, Vaughan and Chris Woakes all give their predictions, we look back at some of the greatest Ashes moments and legendary players, turn the spotlight on the venues and look ahead with the Barmy Army!
And if that wasn’t enough, you can test your knowledge with our Ashes quiz! Go well!
