Superb chronicle of the Ashes, as someone who has seen two of the most significant moments in recent times in the series (Taylor's ton at Edgbaston in 93 and the spin demolition at Edgbaston in 97) it was great not only to read about those moments again but also the history of the whole thing. Keep up the good work mate!

Hello everyone, Great site which covers the Ashes in it's true glory. The Ashes is the be-all-and-end-all of Test cricket. The greatest Ashes Test of recent years - has to be our great win at the MCG in 1998 when we came back from the dead as Australia seemed to have it in the bag. Keep up the good work and please visit my cricket site. Cheers Rhys J

I had the honour of seeing Don Bradman's last innings. That of course was 52 years ago and I was 23. The one thing that I remember about that incident was that Bradmans arrival at the crease was accompanied by a 'standing ovation' and similarly two balls later when Eric Hollies 'unkindly' bowled him. The crowd once again rose to its feet to cheer him off the park. I get a lump in my throat even thinking about some 50 odd years later. I was similarly affectede some couple of weeks ago when a 70,000 crowd at Wembley stood still aand without a murmer to remember Stanley Matthews. That I only witnessed on television but nevertheless a moving experience.

My son is researching the family tree. I have been told for years that one of my grandfather's cousins was Harold Larwood. We found his autograph (not for sale!) amongst my late uncle's effects. We haven't yet managed to tie up the family links as there were many aunts and uncles and we are not sure which were the parents of Larwood. However, it was great to find your portrait and biography of him for our records. Please let us know if you have any more information about him. Many thanks for the site - Helen Barter

My niece Karen told me about your site.I am the second daughter of Harold Larwood and extremely interested in anything to do with cricket and the Larwood family tree.I am now a true blue Aussie supporter and think that Steve waugh is the best thing that ever happened to Australian cricket.

It has made all my efforts worthwhile getting the letters I have received from Harold Larwood's family thanking me for writing his profile and keeping his memory alive. I am currently working on adding more information to his profile - watch this space ! - Miles

My mother, Margaret Worsley, who lives in Devon and is a great niece of Ivo Bligh, tells me that when Ivo Bligh captained England he met his future wife, Flory, who was Irish, when staying at Government House (Melbourne?). They burnt the bails on the lawn there one evening and took the ashes back to England, where for many years they were kept at Cobham Hall, now a school, but then home of the Darnley family (Mary Queen of Scots and that ilk). So Scots and Irish have something to do with cricket.
