The Ashes

in instablurt •  3 years ago 

The Ashes series has been named sarcastically, as a symbol of mourning. The most significant event in the history of Australian cricket was the 182 Oval Test victory over England. In the 4th innings, Fred Spofforth's unforgettable performance helped England reach the target of only 75 runs. Spofforth took 6 wickets for 44 runs. As a result, England lost 1–0 for the first time at home in the first series held at home. As a result, The Sporting Times, London's leading newspaper, published a satirical statement about English cricket in their report.

The Oval's August 29, 1882 dates have made English cricket memorable. Friends have accepted it with deep sorrow. English cricket has been burnt down and the ashes have been given to Australia. The English media quoted the next English team's visit to Australia in 1882-83 as "the journey to the Ashes recovery ...". On that tour, a group of women from Melbourne handed a small pile of ashes to England captain Ivo Blair. Bail ash was one of the instruments of cricket as ashes were kept in containers. This marked the beginning of the famous Ashes series, which included only the Test series between Australia and England. The team that wins the series wins the Ashes trophy. The competition, which consists of a Test series between the two teams, has been a source of great interest in the sports world to this day.

The Ashes pot has been mistaken for the Ashes series trophy. However, it was never officially adopted. But Bly always considered it a personal gift. Often a copy or replica of the pot is given as a symbol of the Ashes series victory. But the actual pot was never presented or displayed in this way. After Blair's death, his widow donated the original pot to the MCC's museum in Lord's.
