The Perth Stadium is a multi-purpose stadium located in the suburb of Burswood. Completed in late 2017, the venue is incredibly modern and primarily plays host to Australian rules football alongside cricket. This will be England's first Test match here, and it will certainly be a tough start - Australia have a very strong record in Test matches here, since it replaced the famous WACA. Stokes and McCullum will be desperate to get off to a strong start in Perth after England's slow start in the last home Ashes series proved decisive.
Play Starts: TBC - this is a day/night Test
A favourite ground of the late Shane Warne, The Gabba, or 'The Gabbatoir,' has not been a happy hunting ground for England. Just the two Test win's have come England's way since the Second World War. Usually the first Test of the Australian summer, perhaps the change in the traditional schedule will coincide with a change in England's fortunes as they look to right the wrong's of Rory Burns' leg stump.
Play Starts: TBC

One of our best Ashes memories is Tremlett and Anderson tearing through the Aussies on Boxing Day, 2010.
