[Dixielandjazz] Ashes

[PATRICK LADD]

  I, in my ignorance to the sport, wonder if it really is someone's ashes?>

Hi Jim,

Many years ago when the Aussies beat us in a Test Match the Times ran a 
headline bemoaning the `ashes of British cricket`.
Ever since the match has been played for `The Ashes`. How or when, someone 
actually came up with the little urn I have no idea.

I do not follow the `Beautiful Game` because in fact it is boring beyond 
belief unless you like stategic games that unfold over 4 or 5 days and into 
which must be factored the weather, and the wear which the turf on the 
wicket will suffer, but this series went right down to the wire.

Musical content? Yah di di yah yah!
