What is it?

[DevilDog#1]

Cricket, parent of baseball, played in British Common Wealth countries.

Ashes is one of the biggest event between Aussies and Brits. Lot of history behind it. Venue is full of emotions. Should check it out.

[Dr. Bullet]

Any venue with Europeans and Australians is full of emotion...hopefully they'll leave their brass knuckles at home

i just hope that the weather is good for the ashes series, it can rain 2 days of the tests, cause well only need 3 days to win matches

Although its a damn shame that you guys still have the actual urn that represents the ashes "too fragile to move" is crap, it should be sitting at the MCG or Adelaide Oval.

ohh you got mike started
