We take a look back through England's squad the last time they tasted victory down under in the Ashes.
It was a series that fans of English cricket will not forget in a hurry, England's 3-1 victory was their first down under in 24 years and, in fact, marks the last time England managed to win a Test match in Australia.
The visitors, led by Andrew Strauss, sent a 16-strong squad across the world, containing some of England's greatest players.
Alastair Cook, Kevin Pietersen and James Anderson all played starring roles with the likes of Chris Tremlett and Tim Bresnan sealing their place in English cricketing folklore.
Although it wasn't Strauss' greatest series with the bat, he led his side with great poise, joining Mike Brearley and Len Hutton as the only England captains to win the Ashes both at home and away.
The man of the moment, Alastair Cook was streets ahead of anyone else throughout the series.
Remarkably, there were vocal critics of Cook's form heading into the winter but he answered them in the best way possible with his performances in the middle. The Chef averaged an outstanding 127.66 across the seven innings he played, racking up an eye-watering 235* in the first Test at the Gabba.
His total of 445 made him the third-highest run getter throughout the series, time and time again playing a vital role of bridging the gap between the openers and middle order.
Trott's 89-strong average included a spectacular 135*, piling on a partnership of 329 with Cook in the first Test.
Controversial, often divisive but undeniably brilliant, Kevin Pietersen is arguably the most talented batter ever to pull on whites for England.
His brilliance was there for all to see during this series; he scored a magnificent double-hundred in Adelaide and claimed the wicket of Michael Clarke during Australia's second innings.
Possessing one of the most stylish cover drives you could ever wish to see, the 2010/11 Ashes was a series that Bell grew into.
He made steady runs in the opening exchanges but saved the best for last. After 11 Ashes 50s, Bell finally made three-figures, striking a carefully constructed 115 in Sydney.
One can only imagine the emotions after starting an Ashes series with a golden duck, but is was something that was very much a reality for Matthew Prior; albeit a reality that he managed to bounce back from.
Prior was the the second victim of Peter Siddle's famous hat-trick on the first day of the series and he didn't make more than 27 in each of the opening three Tests.
However, he took six catches in the first innings of the fourth Test, as well as scoring the fastest century for nearly 30 years in the concluding game.
When you think of bowlers delivering a 'heavy ball', it would be hard not to imagine Tim Bresnan bounding towards the crease.
The Yorkshireman played just two Tests during the series but, with 11 wickets at 19.54 to his name, his contribution will not be forgotten in a hurry.
Making just 83 runs from six innings, the less said about Paul Collingwood's 2010/11, probably the better.
Yet making runs in and against Australia is hard and Collingwood likely contributed in ways that outsiders will have never have seen.
He was a part of England's Ashes-winning squads in both 2005 & 2009 and the experience he brought to the dressing room will have been invaluable.
Still yet to be replaced, even today, Graeme Swann is arguably the greatest spinner England have ever produced.
The 15 wickets that he claimed across the five matches were 12 more than any other slow bowler managed and, at an economy of 2.72, came at a very inexpensive cost.
14 wickets at 33.14, including a sublime 6-125 at the Gabba, Steven Finn was excellent in the three matches he played.
Picked for all three opening Tests, no bowler had taken more wickets than Finn at that point in the series.
Unfortunately for the Middlesex man, he would be rested for the final two Test matches.
Test cricket's all-time leading fast bowler delivered yet again.
His tally of 24 wickets, seven more than anyone else in the series, came at an average of 26.04. He also became the second-youngest England player to reach 200 wickets during the series.
Famed for taking the final wicket of the series, Chris Tremlett performed brilliantly well during the three Tests he participated in.
His towering height resulted in an aggressive bounce that caused the Aussie batters all sorts of issues.
Tremlett took 17 wickets in three games, including 4-26 in the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
The third and final victim of Siddle's aforementioned hat-trick, Broad's time in Australia was cut short due to injury.
He took just two wickets in the two Test matches he played before suffering a muscle tear in his stomach.
*Steven Davies, Eoin Morgan, Monty Panesar and Ajmal Shazad were all part of the squad but didn't play a part in the Test series.
