No he won in neither! Until last month, the last time England had won the Ashes in Australia was 1986/87, and we didn't win them again until 2005. Michael Atherton's last Ashes series was in England in 2001, where Australia won the series 4-1.

England didn't win any ashes series between 1987 and 2005.Australia won the 1998-99 Ashes series.Australia won three test matches, England won one test match and the other was drawn
Yes 100% No not really. Australia is more likely to win it, or it will be a draw.
1986-87 was the last time England beat Australia in an Ashes series. The margin was 3-1 in the five test series However, England were the holders of the Ashes before that series, and therefore retained the Ashes, rather than won them. The last time England actually won the Ashes was in England in 1985 - again a 3-1 series victory
Lord's: Australia win by 239 runs, Edgbaston: England win by 2 runs, Old Trafford: draw, Trent Bridge: England win by 3 wickets, The Oval: draw.
Doesn't look like it.
They won them in 2009!
Mike Gatting captained England in 1986-87 Ashes Series.
An academic question now, but the tradition is that if a series is a tie then the current holder retains the Ashes, so Australia would have only needed to draw the Oval game in order to retain the Ashes.
