In cricket, batters score runs by hitting the ball and running between the two sets of stumps, with each completed run adding one to the total. Hitting the ball to the boundary along the ground scores 4 runs automatically, while clearing the boundary on the full scores 6. A team's total is the sum of all runs scored by its batters, and the team with the higher total wins.
The Ashes is a Test cricket series played between England and Australia, widely regarded as the most famous rivalry in cricket. The name originates from a satirical obituary in The Sporting Times in 1882 after Australia beat England on English soil for the first time, declaring that English cricket had died and "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia." The series is played roughly every two years, alternating between England and Australia.
Test cricket is the longest format, played over up to five days with each team batting twice and no limit on overs per innings. T20 (Twenty20) cricket is the shortest international format, with each team batting for a maximum of 20 overs, and matches typically last about three hours. ODI (One Day International) cricket sits in between, with 50 overs per side and matches lasting a full day.
