Australia won the series and retained the Ashes that had been been in their possession since the1989 Ashes series .Shane Warne andMark Butcher were named Players of the Series. The series also marked the retirement of former England captainMike Atherton , who finished his international career after the Fifth and final Test.First Test,
July 5 2001 –July 8 2001 The First Test was a comprehensive victory for Australia.
Adam Gilchrist was awarded man of the match for his 152, hit from just 143 balls, but it wasShane Warne who took the bowling plaudits. Warne's eight wickets for exactly 100 runs saw England dismissed yet again in an Ashes Test for less than 300 in the first innnings. That they even compiled this many was due to a surprising 103 run 10th wicket partnership betweenAlec Stewart and last manAndy Caddick . Australia were on the back foot, with three wickets down and still considerably in arrears, but they recovered to compile a massive 270 run lead, on the back of Gilchrist's counter-attacking and hundreds forSteve Waugh andDamien Martyn . England subsided in their second innings from 142-2 to be all out for just 164 runs and yet another innings defeat against their oldest adversary.[http://uk.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2001/AUS_IN_ENG/SCORECARDS/AUS_ENG_T1_05-09JUL2001.html Full Scorecard]
