Re: Cricket
Absolutely terrific win, Hoggie & Giles saved our day.
Clearly the last & 5th test at the Oval is going to be thrilling.

Re: Cricket
The remains of the wickets from the 1st test match between Aus and England, they were burnt after the match i believe.

Not strictly true. it is rumoured that burnt bails are in the urn but it has never been confirmed.
http://www.abcofcricket.com/A_Legend.../the_birth.htm
After that mock obituary appeared in the Times some ladies allegedly burnt bails and placed them in a small urn which was presented to the England captain, I think his name was the Hon.Hugo Bligh a relation of the infamous Captain Bligh of the Bounty.
