A whitewash in cricket terms is when a team wins every match played in a series. In the history of The Men's Ashes, whitewashed series have been a rare occurrence and have only happened six times. During the first two decades of The Ashes, Australia suffered three whitewashed series, albeit only in series that featured three matches or fewer. Since the turn of the 20th century, when the format of The Ashes changed to routinely include five matches, England in turn were whitewashed in three series, with the latest instance coming in the 2013/14 Ashes in Australia.
