As of 2023, Australia's men's cricket team has won 20 Ashes series on home soil and 14 in England. Meanwhile, England's men's Test side has also recorded 14 Ashes series wins down under, and 18 when playing at home. In cricket, a great deal of emphasis is placed on the importance of geography when it comes to playing conditions. English conditions, for instance, are renowned for being conducive to swing bowling, while Australian pitches contain a lot of clay, which provides extra bounce for fast bowlers. As a result, the home side is usually seen as having an advantage over their opponents because of the familiarity they have with their respective home conditions.
