Australian Cricket Team in England and Ireland 2001
In 2001, the Australia national cricket team team travelled England and Ireland to play county matches and the 2001 The Ashes series.

The Australian team played tour matches against English teams in:

·       Worcestershire

·       Middlesex cricket club

·       Northamptonshire County Cricket Club

·       M.C.C

·       Essex Cricket League

·       Somerset County Cricket Club

·       Hampshire County Cricket Club

·       Sussex County Cricket Club

Tour matches refer to County cricket matches and international one-day tests.

They also played a one-day series against Ireland. These games were played between the five matches played in the Ashes series. Australia also played in the NatWest Series with England and Pakistan.

The Ashes series was played from the 5th of July to the 27 of August. The series was retained by the Australian team 4-1, continuing the streak of victories since 1989. The players of the series were Glenn McGrath from Australia and Mark Butcher from England. The England captain Michael Atherton finished his international career after the fifth and final test of the series.

History of the Ashes
The Ashes is the annual cricket series played between Australia and England. It has been called ‘a rivalry to match any in sport'.

Origin
Australia and England have played Test matches in cricket since 1877, first in Melbourne but The Ashes series only began in 1882. It was named ‘The Ashes’ following the 1882 game, in which Australia won its first test match in England by 7 runs in a match over two days. A mock obituary was published in The Sporting Times by Reginald Shirley Brooks stating the death of English cricket in the match and that ‘the body will be cremated, and the ashes taken to Australia’.

English captain at the time, Ivo Bligh, 8th Earl of Darnley, later Lord Darnley promised to ‘regain those ashes’ leading to a group of Victorian ladies presenting him with a six-inch terracotta urn with the ashes inside. It remains disputed what was burnt inside. The daughter-in-law of Lord Darnley stated it was the remains of her mother-in-law’s veil, though some claim it was a cricket ball burnt.

The specific urn was cared for by Lord Darnley, then presented to the Melbourne Cricket Club before being transferred to Lord's where it remains.

The series was officially known as ‘The Ashes’ following a book by former English cricket captain Pelham Warner, who penned a book on the 1903/1904 tour called ‘How we recovered The Ashes’.

The trophy played for in the Ashes series, however, is a MCC commissioned trophy played for since 1998/99.

Coach
The coach of the team was John Buchanan (Australian cricketer), who coached the team between 1999-2007. Buchanan had previously led the Queensland cricket team to their first Sheffield Shield title. In his tenure as coach, Australia won 3 Cricket World Cup s.

Captain
The Australian team was captained by Steve Waugh who had captained the side since 1999 to what cricket editor S Rajesh described as their 'most successful peak in decades'.

Vice-captain was wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist, who was described as 'instrumental' to the teams success. The Australian batting side was headed by Damien Martyn, with the 'Dream Team', bowling side including Brett Lee, Shane Warne, Glenn McGrath and Jason Gillespie.

Selection before the Tour
Much of the team prior to the series had been playing in English County Cricket competitions. Through this, they made up 6 of the top 12 run scorers in two county divisions.

During the selection of the team, batsman Justin Langer was originally not chosen by Steve Waugh. However, Justin Langer replaced Michael Slater for the last match of the Ashes series.

The selection committee for the 2001 team was Trevor Hohns, Andrew Hilditch,David Boon and Allan Border. All four were the selection committee from 2000 to 2005.

-       Trevor Hohns is a former Australian batsman. He played for the Australian team from 1989 to 1991.

-       Andrew Hilditch is a former Australian batsman. He played for Australia from 1979 to 1985.

-       Allan Border is a former Australian batsman. He played for Australian from 1978 to 1994.

-       David Boon is a former Australian batsman. He played for Australia from 1984 to 1996.

Changes to the team
Due to the success of the team during the series the team remained unchanged between the tests. Between the 3rd and 4th Tests, Steve Waugh was injured after tearing his calf midway through the 3rd test but returned after a 19-day therapy plan.

The team had been successful previously holding a record of 16 consecutive wins between 1999 and 2001. In the series Gilchrist, Martyn, and both Waugh brothers made nearly 1500 runs together. McGrath and Warne were described as ‘unstoppable,’ combining 63 wickets at 18, becoming ‘one of the most dominant one-two acts’ in an Ashes series.

The Australian team had 17 players. In a pole by the Australian Cricket Network among cricket fans, 7 players were named as the ‘Best Australian Ashes players.’ Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Waugh, Gilchrist, Warne and McGrath all featured.

=== England Team ===

General
According to a study on the 2001 international cricket season, injuries ranged from 19.0 injuries per 10 000 players in domestic matches to 38.5 injuries per 10 000 pays in one day internationals. This is, however, an average of Australian teams. Within the 2001 international matches there were 22.2 injuries per 10 000 player hours. Studies done on injuries in cricket rely on the definition of injuries being made clear, either incorporating any reasons for a player to miss a match or criteria for an injury including the roles a player may have in a series.

Team injuries
Originally in the team party, Nathan Bracken was chosen to play in the one-day tests but injured a shoulder. Ashley Noffke was brought in to replace him but was replaced himself after damaging ankle ligaments at a practise. Brett Lee then was brough in to play in the one-day series, as well as the Tests.

Steve Waugh injured himself between the Second and Third tests in the Ashes series, in a promotional game of squash between Waugh and No 1 Squash player Sarah Fitz-Gerald for the 2002 Commonwealth Games in Manchester. He began to play in the Third Test but ripped his calf in the game having a 5-centimetre tear. Waugh made a 19-day recovery plan and played in the Third Test, taking 6 for 33, but did not bat.

Ireland Tour
For the Ireland games, Captain Steve Waugh did not go to Ireland due to injury and didn’t play the fourth test. Adam Gilchrist was also not in Ireland, so for the series Ponting was named captain. In the team, Hayden and Mark Waugh had played in 1993 in Dublin, while Waugh, Langer, Ponting and McGrath had all played in Eglinton in 1997.

The Irish team had no players from the 1993 competition but Derek Heasley, Andy Patterson and Kyle McCallan had both played in 1997.

England Tour
Australia played six First-Class one day international games.

In the First-Class games Damien Martyn had the highest batting average with an average of 104.66 runs per game, with 9 games played. He also had the most runs between the English and Australian teams with 942 runs, followed by Ponting, Gilchrist and Mark Waugh with 844, 663 and 644 runs respectively.

Shane Warne took the most wickets in the First-Class games with 42 wickets. He also took the most catches in the First-Class series with 13 overall, followed by Mark Waugh and Ponting with 12 and 11.
