Best Answer

The 1981 Ashes series were held in England.

Despite having been 1-0 down after two Tests, England won the next three Tests to finish 3-1 victors (with two draws), thus retaining the Ashes. The series is popularly known as Botham's Ashes, due to the remarkable performances of Ian Botham with both bat and ball.

There was no ashes in Australia in 1981, the ashes were in England that year (called Bothams ashes due to his outstanding performance with bat and ball, England won 3-1). There were ashes in Australia in 1978/79 and 1982/83 (not to mention a series in Australia in 1979/80, which Australia won 3-0).
