1989 English cricket season
The 1989 English cricket season was the 90th in which the County Championship had been an official competition. Australia re-emerged as a world-class team having struggled for most of the previous 12 years. Under the leadership of Allan Border, a very fine team had been forged that included Steve Waugh, Mark Taylor, Ian Healy, David Boon and Merv Hughes. They regained the Ashes by defeating England 4–0. Worcestershire won the County Championship.
