Quick Ashes context
The name “The Ashes” comes from an 1882 satirical obituary after Australia beat England at The Oval, joking that English cricket had “died” and its ashes would be taken to Australia. The tiny urn associated with the legend became a symbol of one of sport’s most enduring rivalries.
