After England's cricketers famously lost to Australia at the Oval in August 1882 a mock obituary notice was published in the Sporting Times, announcing that 'the body [of English cricket] would be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia'. It was this announcement that brought 'the Ashes' into existence.
I have a question about the book:
