It's the Ashes again

It's a great summer of sport coming up this yr in the UK. Wimbledon is just round the corner, followed by the British Open Golf Championship at Turnberry. Also it's the Ashes with Austraila touring England and playing a handful of Test Matches against their greatest rivals. It's called the Ashes because in the late 19th Century Austraila beat England for the first time and such was the dismay the bails were burnt into ashes. The original Ashes are kept under lock and key, but the two teams play for replica Ashes. So I thought it would be an idea to post a couple of clips from the 1981 series involving all rounder Ian Botham
