Has a side ever come from 2-0 down to win the Ashes?

With England struggling in Australia, we take a look at whether a side has ever come from 2-0 down to win an Ashes series.

Has a side ever come from 2-0 down to win the Ashes?

The answer is yes. But only once!

The only previous team to come from 2-0 down to win the urn was Australia back in 1936/37, when the legendary Sir Donald Bradman made 810 runs at an average of 90 to lead the comeback.

England had taken a commanding lead and were on the verge of winning the Ashes after dominant victories by 322 runs in Brisbane and an innings and 22 runs in Sydney.

The hosts had other ideas however and came roaring back as they won by 365 runs in Melbourne, 148 runs in Adelaide and an innings and 200 runs in the fifth and deciding Test to secure a famous series victory.
