Default 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?

and no sooner do I ask the question, I get the answer - via Ch4 news -
that it was indeed a replica :-D

I _hope_ it wasn't, given the way that the England players were tossing
it about.

I put it to you, Curious_Orange, that on 12 Sep 2005 11:05:29 -0700 you
did state the following;

ummm who?!

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
