Breakdown of the cricket rivalry between England and Australia
It is believed that the rivalry between England and Australia began in the 19th century. This came about when the British Daily Telegraph published an article ” Nothing of interest comes from Australia except gold and black cricketers.” Since then it has been a warfare between the two countries. They rival mostly in sports such as Rugby, golf and cricket.
One of the most, intense competitions between the two is Test Cricket also known as the Ashes. The match was contested by England, Australia, Wales, and Scotland. However, the latter two dropped out of the game in 1992.
