The Ashes Cricket Series. Australia and England Ashes cricket teams, compete bi-annually for a trophy known as The Ashes.\n\nHistory:\nIn 1882, a confident English team was beaten on their home turf by the Australian underdogs, who came from an almost unwinnable position to triumph and disgrace their opponents.\n\nA British newspaper, the Sporting Times printed an obituary to cricket which read. \n\nIn Affectionate Remembrance of English Cricket Which Died At The Oval on 29th  August 1882\nDeeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances\nR.I.P\nNB: The body will be cremated, and the  ashes taken to Australia.\n\nSo.... there was the origin of "The Ashes".\n\nThe actual "Ashes" are the remains of either an incinerated stump or bale (no-one is sure which) kept in a velvet bag.\n\nRead more here\nhttp://www.abcofcricket.com/A_Legend_Is_Born/a_legend_is_born.htm\nand\nhttp://www.334notout.com/\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ashes

They are the Ashes of the bails, that were used in the 1st test match that the Aussies ever beat England at Cricket. They are meant to be the Ashes of English Cricket. See below.\n\nIn affectionate remembrance of English cricket which died at The Oval, 29th August, 1882. Deeply lamented by a large circle of sorrowing friends and acquaintances, RIP. NB The body will be cremated and the Ashes taken to Australia." \n\nAustralia’s first victory on English soil over the full strength of England, on August 29, 1882, inspired a young London journalist, Reginald Shirley Brooks, to write this mock “obituary’’. It appeared in the Sporting Times. \n\nBefore England’s defeat at The Oval, by seven runs, arrangements had already been made for the Hon. Ivo Bligh, afterwards Lord Darnley, to lead a team to Australia. Three weeks later they set out, now with the popular objective of recovering the Ashes. In the event, Australia won the first Test by nine wickets, but with England winning the next two it became generally accepted that they brought back the Ashes. \n\nIt was long believed that the real Ashes – a small urn thought to contain the ashes of a bail used in the third match – were presented to Bligh by a group of Melbourne women. In 1998, Lord Darnley’s 82-year-old daughter-in-law said they were the remains of her mother-in-law’s veil, not a bail. Other evidence suggests a ball. The certain origin of the Ashes, therefore, is the subject of some dispute. \n\nAfter Lord Darnley’s death in 1927, the urn was given to MCC by Lord Darnley’s Australianborn widow, Florence. It can be seen in the cricket museum at Lord’s, together with a red and gold velvet bag, made specially for it, and the scorecard of the 1882 match.

Australia with 30\n\nfrom http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ashes\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ashes_series\n\n\nA team must win a series to gain the right to hold the Ashes. A drawn series results in the previous holders retaining the Ashes. To date, a total of 62 Ashes series have been played with Australia winning 30, England winning 27. The remaining five series were drawn, with Australia retaining the Ashes four times and England retaining it once.\n\nAshes series have generally been played over five Test matches, although there have been four match series (1938; 1975) and six match series (1970-71; 1974-75; 1978-79; 1981; 1985; 1989; 1993 and 1997). 293 matches have been played, with Australia winning 115 times, England 92 times, and 86 draws. Australians have made 264 centuries in Ashes Tests, twenty-three of them over 200, while Englishmen have scored 212 centuries, of which ten have been scores over 200. On 41 occasions, individual Australians have taken ten wickets in a match. Englishmen have performed that feat 38 times.

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.

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. It is currently played at approximately two yearly intervals, alternately in England and Australia. The Ashes are "held" by the country which last won a series and to "regain" them the other country must win more Test matches in a series than the country that "holds" them. If a series is "drawn" then the country holding the Ashes retains them. The last Ashes series was played in England in 2005 when England regained The Ashes after a gap of 16 years by winning the series 2-1. The next Ashes series will be in Australia in 2006-07 and the next series in England will be in 2009.\n\nThe series is named after a satirical obituary published in The Sporting Times in 1882 following the match at The Oval, in which Australia beat England in England 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.\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 reputed 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 of its age and fragility.[1] Since the 1998-99 Ashes series, a Waterford crystal trophy has been presented to the winners.\n\n                      wikipedia.org
