    Who scored the winning run the last time an England cricket team retained the Ashes in Australia?

    Question #96695. Asked by mmrrll. (Jun 16 08 1:44 PM)

    		Phil Edmonds and John Emburey?

    It was in 1987 when England last claimed an Ashes series win, with what was actually a convincing 2-1 victory in Australia.

    For the third Test in a row Chris Broad scored a century, equalling a feat achieved only by Sir Jack Hobbs and Walter Hammond before him.

    England totalled 349 and Phil Edmonds and John Emburey then bowled Australia out for 194 to seal the match by an innings and 14 runs.

    It was a victory that was also to seal England's retention of the Ashes and it sent them to Sydney for the final Test in buoyant mood.

    		Looking at the scorecard, Phil Edmonds took the last wicket to dismiss Australia leaving the home team 14 runs short of making England bat a second time. Technically, then, no one scored the "winning run" as England were bowling when they won the match and the Ashes.
