An Ashes series always brings the best out of Australia when they come up against England.
More often than not, it was the Aussies who had stranglehold on the historic urn with England's recent success in the five-match contest only being a regular occurrence within the last 18 years.
As a result of Australia's dominance, they have been responsible for some iconic moments including Shane Warne's ball of the century to Mike Gatting at Old Trafford in 1993.
