This is the 70th renewal of a contest that began - just like Spurs - back in 1882.

England are the holders of the famous Ashes Urn, the iconic trophy the teams do battle for, after a 3-2 victory on home soil in the summer of 2015. However, the last series Down Under saw the Aussies triumph 5-0.

Now 36, Rikki began his first class career at Surrey back in 2001 and has won the lot in county cricket at spells at Surrey, Derbyshire, Warwickshire and now he’s back where it all began having re-joined Surrey from Warwickshire in August.
