The Ashes has a deep historical resonance and allure, capturing massive imagination among cricket fans across the globe. Now, as baseball fever reaches a new height, talk of personal accomplishments and milestones are making their way back into conversations. One truly memorable moment centers around Ben Stokes of England. He was the architect of one of Test cricket’s great wins in an Ashes Test match at Headingley. His extraordinary showing is still part of the recent memory for fans, a reminder of the thrills that The Ashes always seem to deliver.
Against the backdrop of what has become a historic cricketing schedule, one mind-boggling stat stands out. Ten players have played Test Ashes matches this decade, representing a new, emerging class on each side. These all-time greats have helped stoke the competitive fire that characterizes The Ashes series, with their relentless on-field rivalry.
In fact, since 2005, our cousins in England have been enjoying the fruits of a remarkable accomplishment. Only ten players have scored a century in men’s Ashes Tests played in Australia. These brilliant performances do justice to the excellence, grit and never-give-up attitude of England’s cricketers away from home. With the new series on the horizon, there’s an equally thrilling challenge awaiting fans. They need to remember the names of ten iconic players who have made their mark on Ashes history.
Finding these ten centurions is a challenge worthy of even the most knowledgeable English cricket inept. Concurrently, it honors the legacy of one of its most esteemed championship events.
