	The Ashes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ashes urn is reputed to contain a burnt set of bails symbolising the death of English cricket.
		The urn is not used as a trophy for the Ashes series, and whichever side "holds" the Ashes, the urn remains in the MCC Museum at Lord's.
		The Ashes urn itself is never physically awarded to either England or Australia, but is kept permanently in the MCC Cricket Museum at Lord's Cricket Ground, where it can be seen together with a specially-made red and gold velvet bag and the scorecard of the 1882 match.

	2005 Ashes series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 2005 Ashes series was that year's edition of the long-standing and storied cricket rivalry between England and Australia.
		However, with the Ashes going to Australia in the event of a drawn series, there was still all to play for at The Oval.
		The final match to decide the fate of the legendary Ashes urn finally began, and the proverbial first blood was drawn by England as Michael Vaughan won his third toss of the series (much to the delight of the Brit Oval crowd).

		Obituaries are being written and celebratory parties organised as this enthralling Ashes series reaches its finale.
		The planned ticker tape parade for England's Ashes triumph is feeding a commercial zeal from tour operators who will sell cheap flights to Australia for the amount of runs Ponting's team scores in its first innings.

		With the majority of English fans celebrating at the poor long range weather forecast, it looked inevitable that the Ashes would be returning to the mother country for the first time since 1987, an 18 year reign.
		Shane Warne playing in his final overseas Ashes series took 40 wickets at a cost of just 19 runs, a truly remarkable performance and together with his batting performance, ran the eventual man of the series (Flintoff) very close.

		The Ashes is one of the odder aspects of it.
		The Ashes themselves truly are ashes-the cremated remains of a cricket bail or stump, placed in a small brown urn and preserved and cherished in the museum at Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
		The Ashes is cricket's oldest international contest and has its origins in the third Australian tour to England.

		He notes Warne's selflessness in staging a diversionary sex scandal on the eve of the series, suggesting the bowler was "dedicated to proving that while you're only young once, you can be immature forever." Likewise, you could only experience the 2005 Ashes once, but with this book you can savour it forever.

	Kevin Pietersen's and the 2005 Ashes
		When England's selectors chose Pietersen to be in the Ashes squad, they were taking a big gamble considering he had never played a test before and preferring him to the tried and tested experienced campaigner Graham Thorpe.
		However, Kevin Pietersen welcomed the challenge with open arms scoring 57 in the first innings against Australia and 64 not out in the second, making him only the 4th person in history to top score in both innings on an English debut.
		In a nail-biting finish to the Ashes series when Kevin Pietersen came to the crease in the second innings of the fifth test, England were struggling.

		Ricky Ponting’s new Ashes book was launched today and in it he apparantly makes the assertion that losing the Ashes was ‘not a bad thing’ for Australian cricket.
		To the Australian fans, I imagine the Ashes hold the same Holy Grail status that they do for England supporters and as such, losing them should be seen as the ultimate in ‘bad things’.

	Ashes Series - 2005
		They may have had a dream summer, winning the Ashes and playing themselves right back into contention in this competition, but in the end, reality bit back in a gripping series-decider, as Australia held their nerve to clinch a four-run victory with just three balls to spare.
		They have just reclaimed the Ashes for the first time in 42 years, and until their two straight victories to level this series, they hadn't beaten Australia in a one-dayer since 1993.
		And rather like their male counterparts, they are a young team on the up, while an ageing Australian side have displayed some rare signs of fallibility on this trip, even though they held their nerve at the end.

		The 2005 Ashes Series turned out to be the most compelling, exciting and unpredictable cricket contest since Ian Botham almost single-handedly snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in 1981.
		A mixture of bad light, Pietersen's batting and Flintoff's impressive display of character and determination managed to wrest the Ashes from Australia's grasp for the first time in sixteen years and the atmosphere at the ground -- and indeed nationwide -- was euphoric.
		The 2005 Ashes Series will be remembered not just as a series in which a young England team came of age, but also as the the point at which the game of cricket returned to the nation's conciousness after some years in the wilderness.
