	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.

		Whether she is saving a system from annihilation or a government from treason, Honor is constantly standing with her back to the figurative wall against the demons, pushed to the limit and past and yet forging on, bloodied but unbowed.
		And she is left, as are we all, with the Ashes of Victory.
		My copy of On Basilisk Station is near to disintegrating, and while Ashes of Victory has not quite the same style of fast-paced action, it bears reading anew (and often) to absorb the many and profound changes Weber has wrought in the Harrington universe.

		Steve Waugh has celebrated the last Ashes series victory of his long career after leading Australia to another crushing defeat of England in the third Test at the WACA Ground.

		When the last of those spectator- scattering shots, followed immediately by a four, took Pietersen to 150, Warne was pulled out of the attack after a five-hour marathon in which had he used every trick in his book to pull off Australia's Great Escape.
		The 23,000 crowd rose to acclaim the greatest spinner of all time, but he sank slowly to his haunches, knowing that for the first time since bursting on to the Ashes stage 12 years ago, he was a loser - despite taking 40 wickets in the series.
		The game was to all intents and purposes over, although the regulations forced the teams to stay on until the required number of overs were completed, compounding Australia's misery.

		Gough warned Australia was the Test cricket benchmark and pointed to his own experience of never having played in a series win over Australia as proof of how confidence can suddenly erode when faced with the world's no. 1 cricket nation.

		MacGill, employed as a net bowler by England four years ago, followed his 5-57 in the tourists' first innings with 7-50 in the second, making the most of violent turn with his leg-spinners off a helpful pitch.
		Captain Mark Taylor, possibly playing a test for the last time at the SCG, broke a world record for catching to start England's slide Tuesday after it resumed on 104 for two, needing a record 287 in its second innings to level the series at 2-2.
