Partnerships in Test matches are key in defining the teams’ chances of winning. In Ashes, the tournament played between the two of the best cricketing nations in the world, where the contest is super tight, the games are won in sessions, and a wicketless batting session offers that.
Thus building partnerships is crucial for any side to get the upper hand, and of-course, will be a horrible experience for the opposition.
And this article will cover that: the highest partnership for every wicket in the history of Ashes.
