2001 (Australia won by seven wickets) Trent
Bridge provided the backdrop for another
Australian celebration as the tourists took an
unassailable 3-0 lead. The fearsome bowling
attack of McGrath, Lee, Gillespie andWarne
had set the tone in removing Mike Atherton
in the second ball of his finalTest appearance
at Trent Bridge before dismantling the
middle order.
2005 (England won by three wickets) Despite
the continual presence of the physical urn in
the MCC Museum at Lord’s, Australia had
held the Ashes since 1989 when they arrived
for their 2005 tour. It was to be a series of fine
margins with England winning at Edgbaston
by two runs and three wickets atTrent Bridge.
