The Perth 2025 Ashes Test finished inside two days, and Australia won the 1st Test in a rare modern result.
This is the first Ashes Test in 100 years to end within two days, showing how unusual the match was.
Before this, only five Ashes Tests had finished inside two days, all from early cricket years.
The previous two-day Ashes Test was played in 1921 at Nottingham, making this a once-in-a-century moment.
Perth 2025 now sits with the early finishes from 1888, 1890 and 1921, making it a unique modern-day result.
With both teams struggling, the quick finish made Perth 2025 one of the most unexpected Ashes Tests in recent years.
