The Ashes is a famous sporting story. It is a personal gift for each side and a symbol to show superiority in the oldest international cricket match. The event has seen unprecedented growth both in ticket sales as well crowd attendance in recent years. The original series started in 1882.
Origins
The Ashes Cricket Urn (terracotta, 10.5 cm in height) is small and terracotta. It is believed that it contains the ashes from a cricket bail. It is a symbol that represents healing and memory.
Localities
Since its inception in 1877, the Ashes have symbolically referred to England-Australia contests. Unlike most international sporting events, the Ashes have been held on different continents. It has been played in Australia, New Zealand and England throughout its history. Its name comes from an epitaph that was written about the first Ashes match. The writer lamented the death of English cricket and suggested that the ashes be sent to Australia. In this context, the English captain was presented with the urn for the wicket bail. This urn is kept at the Lord's Cricket Ground headquarters of Marylebone Cricket Club.
Tactical tactics
Cricket matches require tactical strategies. There have been many fiery matches in the Ashes series between Australia and England. The 1932/33 series for example was very hostile. English bowlers attempted to intimidate Australian battersmen. This technique was called the 'Bodyline'. It is a right arm delivery intended to hit the batsman's back and cause legside deviations.
