Australia won the series 4-1. They beat England in all five tests to regain the Ashes. The first test was a draw, but Australia went on to win the other four matches to reclaim the title. Steve Waugh was the leader of the team, having been appointed as captain after Ricky Ponting retired hurt. Waugh later said he didn't feel like a captain because Michael Clarke was such a good player. David Warner replaced Clarke as his deputy and is now the new captain for Australia. England won the 2005 series 3-2. They lost only one test match - the first one - but it was canceled due to security concerns following the London bombings.
