The winter England conquered Oz— Strauss, Cook and Ashes of 2010–11
England’s last Ashes win in Australia came in 2010–11 under Andrew Strauss, achieved through control, discipline and belief rather than bravado. Arriving as the world’s No.1 side, England set the tone early, with Alastair Cook’s epic 235 in Brisbane and dominant wins in Adelaide and Perth. A draw in Melbourne and Graeme Swann’s decisive spell in Sydney sealed a commanding 3–1 series victory that reshaped English cricket’s belief in Australia.
