The Ashes series is currently played nominally biennially, alternately in England and Australia. However since cricket is a summer game, the venues being in opposite hemispheres means the break between series is alternately 18 months and 30 months.
Hence the series in Australia will be played after 18 months from the series played in England

I don't know if the 2010/11 Ashes is set in stone, it certainly should be then, but England and Australia are bound by the ICC's Future Tours Programme which necessitates playing each other Test country home and away every six years. Look at practically every other Test series and you'll see it's three Tests, sometimes 4, occasionally 2. England are the only country that regularly has 5-Test series these days :(

i'd desire to think of so. even regardless of the undeniable fact that i'd have favorite Andrew Strauss to captain England somewhat than Kevin Pietersen, the main purpose with any captain is to overlook with regard to the previous and concentrate on the destiny. The Ashes is the main important sequence in worldwide cricket. each and every tournament England play is a lead-as much as The Ashes, on an identical time as quickly as we play communities like South Africa pundits and followers nonetheless point out The Ashes. Pietersen has skill to be a great England captain, if he learns and adapts immediately. Pietersen is already a great motivator of communities, or perhaps whilst Vaughan grew to become into captain, Pietersen grew to become into the rock of the gang. If Pietersen can develop a tachtician's suggestions besides as motivating the gang, then he might prevail besides England have a great risk of triumphing The Ashes. Australia are no longer the gang they as quickly as have been, now no longer have they have been given the suited spinner,wicket-keeper and speedy bowler in the worldwide. with out Gilchrist, McGrath and Warne (Australia 3 greatest tournament-winners of the final 10 years) Australia are certainly beatable. now no longer can Australia purely throw the ball to a minimum of one bowler (McGrath & Warne) and say supply me a wicket!! Australia's side isn't something whilst in comparison with 3 years in the past. Australia even have not got any spin possibility anymore. Beau Casson is a comedian tale of a spinner (and he's the suited one they have have been given) England will experience gentle chasing in the 4th innnings England on the different hand nonetheless have all there materials from the 2005 Ashes, yet they have extra besides. gamers like Sidebottom, prepare dinner and past will purely strenghthen the britain side. So if England have a extra healthful Pietersen, Flintoff and Jones for the Ashes sequence, then England can win.

The Ashes is every 4 years in each country - every two years in alternate countries.
The next Ashes in Austalia therefore will be 2010 / 2011.
