England now dominant force in Ashes cricket

The Financial Times have put together some intriguing Ashes statistics this week and have come to the welcome conclusion that we are, after a 14-year wait, finally reentering a period of England dominance.

Take a look:

According to the FT: "This chart shows both countries’ Ashes performance since the contest began in the late 19th century. With an England Test match win scoring 1, an Australian win scores 0, and draws scored as 0.5, it shows the rolling 20-match total. That’s four Ashes series, more or less (some early series didn’t contain five matches)."
