The Ashes

So once again England and Australia are competing for the Ashes (a three inch high wooden urn that contains burnt ashes, surely the smallest trophy in sports) Five, 5-day test matches of generally high drama.
The first test in Cardiff ended in one of the most exciting draws possible. England hottie Collingwood (according to Miriam) batting for 6 hours against hostile bowling to save the match from certain defeat.

Regardless - I know few of you are interested but for a bit of a taste listen in to the TMS (Test Match Special) commentary for while. They are an entertaining bunch and its well - free - so you have no excuse.
