The Ashes have finally arrived and UK cricket fans are gearing up for a late-night winter as the action kicks off this week.
As is tradition, The Gabba in Brisbane will host the first of five events as England look to win their first series on Australian soil for more than a decade amid a backdrop of controversy within the sport.
Given the advantage of playing at home, the Australians are strong favorites to retain the Urn, but their opponent is ranked only one place below them in the ICC test rankings, making for a fascinating series to dive into during the festive period.
In fact, while the preparation has been somewhat low-key, the Ashes simply always provide fireworks.
The first test begins on Wednesday and runs until Sunday, December 12.
