The English cricket team in Australia in 1998-99 lost the Ashes series. Of the five matches, one was drawn, Australia won three and England won one. Australian captain Mark Taylor won all five coin tosses at the start of the games.
I was at the SCG for all 4 days and saw the Gough hat-trick. It was my first time Down Under and England put up a very decent fight and may have even won had Michael Slater been given run out when he was at least a yard short but his 123 put the game just out of our reach.
