Oracle of Delphithe Ashes Urn Exhibition in Adelaide
November 29th 2006 22:42
It's Summer and the cricket's here again. Following the Ashes series is the Ashes Urn Exhibition which will be on display at the South Australian Museum coinciding with the second Test in the 2006-2007 3 mobile Ashes Series to be held in Adelaide.
The urn and contents symbolised the death of English cricket at the hands of the Australians after they defeated England for the first time on English soil in August 1882. The urn is said to contain the ashes from one of the bails from the 1882-83 Test cricket matches in Australia, which was burnt by a group of Melbourne ladies and presented to England captain Ivo Bligh.
