"Australia VS England" in Ashes would have been an undetermined cricketing tournament may be during the early period of Ashes but not now. When Ashes was started in the 1882, the only prominent cricketing nations took part nd it has managed to continue its reputation even during dis era. It is supposed to be a very honorable tournament right from the inaugural series. Though Australia has been the irrefutable Ashes champions for a very long time now.
Surprisingly speaking, a cricketing tournament has a history to talk about. The birth of Ashes is one of the most interesting or rather a fascinating piece of info to share. And here it is, In the 1882 test played between Australia and England at Oval, Australia won it comprehensively and the England cricket was considered to be dead. England cricket team was given the "RIP" certificate by the then Sporting Times magazine nd the ashes of the dead English cricket was taken to Australia.
Later in the same yr, England began its popular cricket tournament against Australia which was regarded as the "Quest for the Ashes" and eventually England won it. The England cricket team was awarded an urn (by few English female officials) which contained the ashes of the pair of bails used in the test match dat england lost earlier dat yr. The aftermath of dat tournament resulted in the two teams meeting often to fight for the Ashes. However, Ashes is currently being played biannually, alternatively in England nd Australia.
England however dominated the Ashes in the earlier stage by losing just 4 matches of 23, however its been the Aussies who have dominated the Ashes under various captains. The 2005 Ashes was considered the most memorable series for the England in the recent times, which the English won 2-1 under the captaincy of Michal Vaughan. But in the 2007 series, the Aussies made a magnum revenge by clinching the Ashes 5-0. It was after dis memorable Ashes dat the likes of Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, Justin Langer and Damien Martyn retired from all forms of the game. Considering this fact too seriously its high time England try to steal the Ashes from the Aussies once again in 2009.
England have done an extraordinarily good job to draw the first Ashes test dis season. Ponting shuld have very badly missed Glenn Mc Grath or Shane Warne after having failed to grab the 10th English wicket in de second inning to win the first test. With the ineffective and tyro Australian pace attack, it wouldn't be a totally surprise package to the cricketing world if England tend to win the Ashes '09. This would be de elongated downfall of the Australian cricket. Lets hope for a very interesting Ashes '09
