If that means your team won, congratulations. Sometimes this language barrier........

sometime ago, I think in the 1800s, England did so badly that the wickets were cremated and placed in an urn, and an obituary was written in a national paper about the 'death of English cricket'. Ever since then, England and Australia have been fighting for posession of the urn conataining the ashes, or at least their representation. There is an actual urn! I'm sure you'll see a picture if you do a search. So, this is a massive deal!
