Can you name England's whitewashed 2013/14 Ashes squad?

accreditation

There’s no real winner when Australia play England.

As South Africans we can’t ever really take joy in one of those sides losing if it means the other gets to gloat over their victory.

Therefore it is with mixed feelings we look ahead to The Ashes this summer.

Just six players remain from England’s last trip Down Under, which ended in a humiliating 5-0 whitewash - only the third in Ashes history.

The baby-faced English batsmen, up against Mitchell Johnson sporting one of the all-time great Australian moustaches, buckled under the numerous body blows and sharp-tongued barbs.

Joe Root - now England captain - has openly stated he is out for revenge this summer, but can you name the other 19 hapless travellers who had a tour to forget?

Lace one through the covers with the latest Ashes betting from BET.co.za.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
