How were the ashes created?

Answer 1

well there is a famous match against Australia and England and they burnt the bat and from then they played for the ashes.

The Ashes was born out of a match in 1882 when England played Australia at the Oval cricket ground in England. It was a close match but the Australian bowler F.R Spofforth made enough wickets to push ahead. Following the match a spoof obituary was published in the sporting times. It read," In Affectionate remembrance of English cricket which died at the Oval in 28th Aug. 1882. "

A month later in Australia the English team was presented with an urn that supposedly contained the Ashes of English cricket!!!. From then on the urn became a trophy to reward the winner of the battle between England and Australia. No one is quite sure what is contained in the urn,but many think it holds the burned remains of a bail used in Melbourne test match. Today the original urn stays in England and when Australia wins they only get to take home a replica of the original trophy.

Answer 2

England were and unbeaten team, Australia cam along and beat them, as a joke a bat and some bails were burnt and the ashes were kept in the urn which is presented to the winning team nowadays.
