[edit] Test Series
England won the Ashes thanks to the batting of Mike Gatting, Tim Robinson and David Gower; and some excellent seam bowling by Richard Ellison. As in 1981, this was another disappointing Australian team, but fortunately for cricket their recovery would be complete by the time of their next visit in 1989.
