Five summers of Aussie dominance that made England weep into their tea.
Over 5 red-hot summers between 1990 and 2007, Australia dominated the Ashes down under like never before: in 25 test matches, the rampant Aussies won 18 and lost just 3. It was an unforgettable era when all-time greats including Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath, Allan Border and Steve Waugh inflicted cricket misery upon the English. While Australia re-wrote the record books - showing the inventors of the game how to dominate it We relive unforgettable moments from this all-conquering age: Steve Waugh's career-saving last-ball century; Shane Warne's Ashes hat-trick, the first in over 90 years; Adelaide's amazing victory plucked from nowhere during the 5-nil whitewash of 2006/07. Aussie's lethal bowling artillery: while McGrath and Warne dined out on England's batsmen, Jason Gillespie, Stuart MacGill, Merv Hughes, Brett Lee and Bruce Reid delivered their own brand of merciless bowling attack. These were the wonder years when Australia made history - and England was history.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Shane Warne's 1994/95 hat-trick was the first Ashes hat-trick in 91 years—since 1903/04. England waited nearly a century for that pain again.
This era coincided with Australia's 'cultural cringe' dissolving into unapologetic national swagger—sport became the loudest expression of a changing identity.
