The Legacy of The Ashes
The Ashes is the legendary Test cricket series played between England and Australia since 1882. Born from a satirical obituary after England lost at The Oval, it symbolically references the “death of English cricket” and the ashes being taken to Australia. Since then, the two nations have competed for pride, legacy, and that tiny yet iconic Ashes urn.
From the heroics of Sir Don Bradman to thrilling modern-day rivalries, the Ashes continues to captivate fans worldwide.
