Ashes ... okay, okay.

Okay, okay ... I will make an effort.

I will TRY.

So, just to start with ... it's best of, what? ... 5 games ?

[Buzzie]

Best of 5 games, each of which lasts a maximum of 5 days & can end up in a draw even after all that time.

England, as the holders, only need to draw the series to retain The Ashes, although last night didn't go too well...............

It's not the best of 5, it's 5 games full stop. Each has a maximum of 5 days. England will need to at least draw the series to retain.

That would have been my next question ... who had won it last time?

Is it every 2 years, or 4 years?

[joggerjayne]
