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.

A 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.

From my upbringing the ashes stayed on your for the entire day.  Of course, if you happened to wipe them off or if you were sweating and they washed away because of that it was considered an acceptable and approved reason for not having them.  I was raised to sleep with them as they are supposed to be washed off when you shower the next day or rub off in your sleep or during any activity that led to their loss.  Does it make sense?

The best way to stop yourself any further shame is to learn how to spell and construct a basic sentence. Worry about the Ashes after that.

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 approximately biennially, 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.

I believe the book is "Ashes in the Wind" by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss (ISBN 0380769840).  You can find it for sale at http://www.amazon.com or check the online catalog of your local library.

The truth is the current England team is crap. The public doesn't realise it because the British media would like to make them believe otherwise. \nJust wait till the ashes begin in 2 weeks to see more feeble excuses from the press! (and also from the team itself)

The term itself actually "predates cricket".\n\nAccording to the Online Etymological Dictionary, the word comes from the old English "innung," meaning "a taking in, a putting in." \n\n"Inning" is the past participle of the old English verb "to in," meaning "to put in, take in, enclose, or include." Thus, "innings" is the period of time a team or player is "in" or "in play." \n\nWikipedia points out that in British English, "innings" is also a term for "almost any activity which takes a period of time."

It's true that an  Aborigine cricket team toured England, actually in 1868, and were essentially the first ever Australian side to visit England (check :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_Aboriginal_cricket_team_in_England_in_1868 ) ...but this tour was strictly a private money-making enterprise arranged by some white Australian showmen,  the team were never officially recognised at the time as representing Australia, and none of the matches they played were classified as first class.\n\nIt was not until ten years later in 1878 that the official Australian test team made its first ever trip to England. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_cricket_team_in_England_in_1878
