  • Visitor Information
England v Australia: The Ashes Fifth TestThe fifth and final clash of The Ashes takes place at The Oval as England and Australia go head to head in what could be the series decider. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that by now, the hosts will be well and truly beaten. But back in 2005, the visitors came to The Oval needing a win but were denied by the heroics of Andy Strauss, Kevin Pietersen and Andy Flintoff as England secured the series 2-1 in dramatic fashion. The subsequent whitewash Down Under saw the pendulum swing somewhat, but Ricky Ponting's side return to our shores with an inexperienced squad ripe for the taking. Either way, it would be great for spectators if the series was not already wrapped up by the time the players take to the pitch in sunny south London.
 

About The Kia Oval Cricket Ground

Though it does not have quite the same kudos as Lord's, The Kia Oval (known so because of a sponsorship deal, but usually referred to simply as The Oval) is in many ways just as pleasant to watch a day's cricket. Test matches against the West Indies and teams from the Indian subcontinent are particularly atmospheric, with south London's large ethnic minority populations turning out in force to support their heroes.
