From ARFOPEDIA
cricketing prize which is currently held by Australia, mainly thanks to sterling work from their star player Geraint Jones.
[edit] How the 2005 Ashes were won
- December 6th 1977 - Freddy Flintoff born in Preston
- January 2003 - Ricky Ponting appointed captain of Australia
- August 4th, 9am - Michael Vaughan sneaks a cricket ball onto the Edgbaston outfield where the Australians are training.
- August 4th, 10:05am - Ricky Ponting wins the toss and for a laugh decides to bowl first to give England a chance.
- September 12th, 8am - With a bottle of chloroform and a skunk wig as his tools, Graham Thorpe kidnaps Kevin Pietersen and takes his place in the England team for the second innings at The Oval, single handedly saving the day with a magnificent 158, a feat even more impressive when considering he had to bat right handed so as not to arouse suspicion.
