Seems like the excitement regarding the Ashes here in BC is at all time low

Habib · #4 November 13, 2010, 12:31 PM

^Who cares about this ashes when our own ashes is coming up soon.

Night_wolf · #5 November 13, 2010, 12:40 PM

^exactly!!

Tiger Manc · #6 November 19, 2010, 10:09 AM

wow what a fixture list!! 7 odis!! they even have practice matches during the ashes!

i hope both teams are tired at the end of the tour and fail to perform in the world cup.

england have dominated australia a in the warm up match. australian players have failed in their sheffield shield matches, even some of their hopefuls underperformed against england.

Night_wolf · #7 November 19, 2010, 10:30 AM

Rabz · #10 November 20, 2010, 12:41 PM

It was a good game to win for the English.
The practice match that is.

A huge confidence booster to begin the never ending tour with.

Really looking forward to the series. It is surely going to be exciting and it needs to be that way to regain the popularity of Test cricket.

Oh great ! Myself and my friends are going on 5th Jan.

Since i am living here for long time, its my duty to support aussie this time. Otherwise, i may sound "je thalaye bhat khaye, shei thala tei hagey" type ! lol

At least what i feel that Pommies are more arrogant than aussies !! (others may think otherwise)

Moreover, this time, Aussies are underdog...its fun when you support the underdog !!

Likewise Naimul. I live in England but I never really supported the Aussies unless they are playing against Pakistan and recently against India!

I'm going on the 6th, might go on the 7th too depending to the outcome. I predict 5-0 to England. Somthing tells me .. Aussies are gonna get thrashed this time :-)

Dilscoop · #18 November 24, 2010, 06:23 PM

As a cricket fan you really should know what the Ashes look like.

Night_wolf · #19 November 24, 2010, 08:18 AM

This is the best chance England will probably get in long time. They better take it. I'm rooting for England. A lot depends on Pieterson, and pretty boy.

Murad · #23 November 24, 2010, 03:08 PM

Lolz. tai?. Aage kokhono kheyal korinai.

Ajfar · #24 November 24, 2010, 03:20 PM

^ yup. This is actually not the real urn that was used during the first ever Ashes. The real urn stays at the lords cricket museum. The one Ponting and Strauss are holding on to is a replica. Well that's what I was told not sure if its true or not.

The Ashes is a Test cricket series played between England and Australia. It is international cricket's most celebrated rivalry and dates back to 1882. It is currently played biennially, alternately in the United Kingdom and Australia. Cricket being a summer sport, and the venues being in opposite hemispheres, the break between series alternates between 18 and 30 months. A series of "The Ashes" comprises five Test matches, two innings per match, under the regular rules for Test match cricket. If a series is drawn then the country already holding the Ashes retains them.
The series is named after a satirical obituary published in a British newspaper, The Sporting Times, in 1882 after a match at The Oval in which Australia beat England on an English ground for the first time. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia. The English media dubbed the next English tour to Australia (1882–83) as the quest to regain The Ashes.
During that tour a small terracotta urn was presented to England captain Ivo Bligh by a group of Melbourne women. The contents of the urn are reputed to be the ashes of an item of cricket equipment, possibly a bail, ball or stump. The Dowager Countess of Darnley claimed recently^[when?] that her mother-in-law, Bligh's wife Florence Morphy, said that they were the remains of a lady's veil.
The urn is erroneously believed by some to be the trophy of the Ashes series, but it has never been formally adopted as such and Bligh always considered it to be a personal gift.^[1] Replicas of the urn are often held aloft by victorious teams as a symbol of their victory in an Ashes series, but the actual urn has never been presented or displayed as a trophy in this way. Whichever side holds the Ashes, the urn normally remains in the Marylebone Cricket Club Museum at Lord's since being presented to the MCC by Bligh's widow upon his death.^[2]
Since the 1998–99 Ashes series, a Waterford Crystal representation of the Ashes urn has been presented to the winners of an Ashes series as the official trophy of that series.
England currently holds The Ashes, after defeating Australia 2–1 to regain them in the 2009 Ashes series which took place in England and, for the first time, Wales.
