The Ashes Return To Australia
Dec 18, 2006

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.
England won last year after losing for the previous eighteen.
This year, the Brits went to Australia to defend the Ashes. They started the 5-match series last month. The Aussies crushed them in the first three games to regain the Ashes.
English Cricket, R.I.P.
Update
Ricky Ponting wants to annihilate England 5-0. Oh, sweet revenge.
In the end, resistance was futile. England's 463-day Ashes reign, the shortest in history, came to an end just two balls into the second session of the 15th day of this contest.
Ouch.
Australia is, once again, the team to beat. If they win the World Cup in a few months (which will make it a record three-in-a-row), then this generation will qualify as the greatest in history.
