What is the name of the famous cricket series between England and Australia?

The rivalry between England and Australia in cricket is legendary, and it's embodied in a series known as The Ashes. The name itself has a fascinating origin. It dates back to 1882 when Australia defeated England on English soil for the first time. A satirical obituary was published in an English newspaper declaring that English cricket had died, and "the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia." The following English team to tour Australia vowed to bring back "the ashes," and while the exact origins of the physical urn are debated, the name stuck. So, while Wimbledon and The Open are prestigious sporting events held in the UK, and Formula One is a global motorsport, they have nothing to do with this specific cricket rivalry. The Ashes is the only answer that reflects this historic and fiercely contested cricket series between England and Australia.
The Ashes: a cricket rivalry so intense, it's like a burning urn of sporting history between England and Australia.
