AUS vs ENG Head-to-Head Records- Key Statistics
The Ashes have witnessed 361 matches so far, with both Australia and England winning over 100 matches.
Having said that, it is Australia that has dominated the AUS vs ENG rivalry when it comes to the number of wins.
The Aussies have got the better of England in 152 matches, while England has succeeded in winning 112 matches, with the remaining 97 matches ending in a draw.
England are yet to win a Test match in Australia, having lost 13 games in the last 15 attempts, and have managed to eke out a couple of draws.
However, the scenario is a bit better for visitors in the last five Test matches between the two oldest cricketing nations.
The Ben Stokes-led side has succeeded in registering a couple of wins in the last five Ashes games, with Australia also winning as many matches.
England would be expected to give a stiff competition to the home on this tour, which hasn't been the case in the last three trips down under since that famous win in 2010-11.
Australia, on the other hand, would want to maintain the strong record that the team possesses in home conditions against England in just over a decade.
Having said that, the current Australian squad looks a depleted one at least for the first Test, with the absence of two experienced fast bowlers in the form of Josh Hazlewood and regular captain Pat Cummins.
In addition to that, Australia is going into the opening match of the series in Perth with two debutants, one each in the batting and bowling departments.
Jake Weatherald will partner with Usman Khawaja at the top of the order and will look to get the team off to a good start.
Other than Weatherald, Brendan Doggett will look to put on a strong performance with the ball alongside Mitchell Starc and Scott Bolland.
As far as England is concerned, they also have a decision to make with regard to their bowling combination that they think is going to help the team draw first blood.
It would be interesting to see if England unleashes both Archer and Wood in the series opener or holds one of them back, keeping in mind the length of the series.
England might decide to go all out and play with four specialist fast bowlers and Ben Stokes to give themselves the best chance of winning in the AUS vs ENG contest in Perth.
