The Ashes - 2019 - Battle of the "Underdogs"

A toughly fought Ashes saw the results evenly split as Australia, despite retaining the Ashes, continued its quest to win outright its first series in England since 2001.

As Wisden noted , "both England and Australia seemed like underdogs. That may defy the dictates of logic, but in advance each team appeared irretrievably flawed, straining against their own shortcomings even before the opposition arrived to exert any force the other way".

Now is your chance to replay the 2019 Ashes Series with a tightly matched, if flawed roster of players made up of some sublime bowlers and some very fragile batters.
