One of the fiercest cricketing rivalries is set to resume in the form of the winter Ashes series between England and Australia.

England will be high on confidence and will be ready to defend their title while hosts Australia will look forward to spoil England’s aim at history.

Australia hope their impregnable record at the Gabba will help them seize early momentum as they bid to stop England completing their best Ashes run in 123 years.

Michael Clarke`s team went down 3-0 just three months ago in England, leaving them in danger of losing four Ashes series in a row -- a fate they have not suffered since 1890.

England, the current holder of the urn, are favourites to defend the title.
