Ashes urn.... that wasnt the *real* one was it?!
It was very nice to see it presented - given the stories I heard about
its fragility and how it never leaves Lords etc etc, I half expected the only trophies to be presented being the large crystal replica and the other piece of silverware. But then I found myself worrying slightly as it was man handled in the post match celebrations... so I'm presuming that probably wasnt the *real* one?  |

I believe it probably was, but indirectly so.. I think the more correct spelling is probably kurious_oranj I do rather like it.. and it was thought up and chosen in about 1 second. I hope that still makes it a top name  |
