The Ashes

The most important trophy in cricket? I am a tradionalist in some regards when it comes to cricket. I prefer test cricket to any of the Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Mam type cricket that is going on these days. So yes, I’d say so, but I understand most nuetral cricket observers being indifferent to the series.
