How England performed

Seeking to win back the Ashes after the 0–4 defeat of 1989, England lost 0–3 in Australia in 1990–91. The first two Tests were lost despite England leading on first innings in both. At Brisbane they made 194 to Australia's 152 but were dismissed for 114 and beaten by ten wickets; at Melbourne they led 352 to 306 before being bowled out for 150 and losing by eight wickets.

The middle of the series brought two draws. At Sydney England declared on 469 for 8, 49 behind Australia's 518, and were 113 for 4 at the end, and at Adelaide they reached 335 for 5 in their second innings after trailing by 157 on first innings. Australia completed the series win at the WACA Ground, Perth, dismissing England for 244 and 182 and winning by nine wickets.
