I too love to watch the Ashes series.  It is considered as tge most prestigeous cricket contest by England and Australia.\n\nAs far as Money is concerned, since England Team Management decided to play only 1 spinner, they selected Gile as they consider him most experienced spinner in the Englnd Team.\n\nAs far as Harmison is concerned, he is not in his best of form now.

I like bowling. Very portable and practical. I guess joints are too, but they keep burning and if you want to put it out for some reason, you have to worry about it and in the meantime you are wasting!

It was the bails that were burnt. During a test series between England and Australia in the early part of the twentieth century, can't remember when exactly, the Aussies trounced us and a cricket writer in the Times I think, wrote that the bails should be burnt and sent to Australia. \n\nSometime after that bails were indeed burnt but they have never left these shores, always remaining at Lords, home of the M.C.C., much to the chagrin of the Aussies, who feel the Ashes should always be presented to the winners.

The Ashes is a Test cricket series, played between England and Australia - it is international cricket's oldest and most celebrated rivalry dating back to 1882. \n\nIn the Test match played between England and Australia in 1882,\nAustralia defeated England for the first time.  Following this defeat a satirical obituary published in The Sporting Times in 1882. The obituary stated that English cricket had died, and the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia.\n\nThe English media dubbed the next English tour, to Australia (1882-83) as the quest to regain The Ashes. This is how the test cricket series between England and Australia has been named\nas Ashes series. \n\nA small terracotta urn was presented to the England captain Ivo Bligh by a group of Melbourne women at some point during the 1882-83 tour. The contents of the urn are reported to be the ashes of an item of cricket equipment, possibly a bail, ball or stump. The urn is not used as a trophy for the Ashes series, and whichever side holds the Ashes, the urn normally remains in the MCC Museum at Lord's because it was bequeathed to the MCC by Ivo Bligh upon his death. Since the 1998-99 Ashes series, a Waterford crystal trophy has been presented to the winners.\n\nIf you would like to have more details about Ashes, please check the following website:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ashes

Yes it was love at first sight. Last year (when I moved away from Atlanta) was the first year since becomming a fan that I didn't go to a game. I used to joke that the upper deck of Turner Field was my summer home, I was there so often. I love John Smoltz (though I think he should be moved back to closer), adore Marcus Giles, cried when Javy Lopez left, and have full confidence that (even though our pitching staff sucks right now) at the end of the season we will have another division pennant to hang on the left field wall, I chop till my arm hurts weather at a game, watching one on TBS or listening to Skip, Chip, Pete, or Don on the radio. I even have a "shrine" to the Braves in my bedroom.\nGo Braves. Don't stop the Chop!

The real Ashes urn generally stays in the UK on display but at the moment it is "on tour" around Australia.\n\nThey wont be staying in Australia, no matter the outcome of the series.\n\nStill, Damien Martyn might push someone over trying to take them away from him!

Some people say that, some people don't believe it.  \nI have some of my grandmother's ashes, and some of my uncle's, and all me and my family members bring them with us when we go on vacation somewhere great we think they'd like to have gone, so they can come with us, and we sprinkle some of their ashes so a part of them can stay there!  \nWhether you believe that sort of thing is fun and respectful or totally horrible depends on your individual beliefs.  I believe also that ashes kept in an urn are considered interred because they have their final resting place, it's just not in the ground.
