As Australia's women celebrate winning the Ashes once again, it's time to reveal the moments you selected as your favourite throughout the history of the famous rivalry.
We relived some of our highlights as we narrowed it down to our top 20.
We heard from Katherine Brunt and Kate Blackwell as they shed light on England's often overlooked 2005 series win.
Raelee Thompson gave rare insights into the dramatic Jubilee series, and we took a deep dive into the history of the inaugural 1934/35 series.
Karen Rolton told us what it was like scoring her 209*, while Meg Lanning reflected on storming 'Fortress Chelmsford.'
Belinda Clark told us about the official birth of the women's Ashes, and Amanda-Jade Wellington looked back on her 'ball of the century.'
But what were your picks? Here's the list, from 10th to first.
10. The catch that went viral (2013)
It was one of the best catches behind the stumps you'll ever see.
In her 13 years playing international cricket, Sarah Taylor was widely regarded as one of, if not the best, wicketkeeper in the game.
And her classic catch of Australia captain Jodie Fields in this Ashes ODI in 2013 showed just why.
Loading9: Jo Broadbent gets Australia's first double ton (1998)
Only four Australian women have ever scored a Test double hundred — and Jo Broadbent was the first.
Her pioneering knock came in the first Test at Guildford in 1998, after more than eight-and-a-half hours at the crease.
8: The very first Test series (1934)
"Girl cricketers will have thrilling time" was a headline in the Australian Women's Weekly at the time.
And they sure did in the inaugural women's contest between the two nations, held in Australia in 1934-35.
It's now 87 years since Margaret Peden and Betty Archdale led their teams onto Brisbane's Exhibition Ground.
A reminder of what's possible, when you step boldly to the crease.
7: Karen Rolton's 209* at Headingley (2001)
Karen Rolton's 209 not out against England broke the then-women's-world-record Test score.
Her 313-ball double ton led Australia to a nine-wicket win and sealed an Ashes series victory on foreign soil.
6: Betty Wilson shines (1958)
During the second Test in Melbourne, Australia was bowled out for just 38 runs in the first innings.
But then in came Betty Wilson, who bowled out England for 35, taking figures in that innings of 7-7 — including a hat-trick.
When Australia batted again, Wilson went on to score a century. And, in Australia's second innings with the ball, she took four wickets for just nine runs.
5: Sarah Elliott: breastfeeding and batting her way to 100 (2013)
In 2013 — as part of the Ashes series — Sarah Elliott became the first mother to tour as a member of the Australian women's cricket team.
Remarkably, she also scored her maiden Test century while breastfeeding her nine-month-old child, Sam.
4: Meg Lanning obliterates the England fortress (2019)
No team had ever beaten England at "Fortress Chelmsford", until Meg Lanning's magnificent day out on July 26, 2019.
She was ruthless with a then-world record 133 not out off 63 balls, guiding Australia to its highest ever T20I total of 3-226.
It was among Lanning's finest innings across all formats of the game, cementing her status as one of her country's greatest batters.
3: Perry skittles England — and then keeps delivering (2019)
Ellyse Perry won player of the match in this Ashes series, and it's not hard to see why.
She topped the run-scorers for the series, and was also the series’ most prolific wicket-taker.
She also became the first player, man or woman, to reach the double of 1,000 runs and 100 wickets in T20 International cricket.
2: Ellyse Perry's 213* and that premature celebration (2017)
This was unforgettable in every way.
Under the lights at North Sydney Oval, Ellyse Perry celebrated one of the biggest moments of her career, not once, but twice.
On 194, she thought she'd struck a six and started to salute the crowd , only to be told it didn't quite make it.
She had to wait a few more deliveries, but eventually produced the highest individual Test score by an Australian woman, with a more subdued reaction the second time around.
1: Amanda-Jade Wellington's 'ball of the century' (2017)
It was a ball that left commentators gushing.
"Amanda-Jade Wellington has bowled an absolute peach.
And the ball later went viral for its comparisons to Shane Warne's 1993 Gatting "ball of the century."
Fittingly, while Warne's ball was chosen as your top men's Ashes moment of the past 40 years, Wellington has now taken out the women's top spot — by a comfortable margin too.
