The Final Kiss

And that is my last Ashes image for a while. Unfortunately I may now have to pay more attention to my Black Caps.

Suddenly, A Game Breaks Out

Here We Go, Here We Go, Here We Go...

... now let the games begin.

Putting The Ashes To Bed

Wing Commander Strauss saying good night to the little urn before it is safely tucked away. Until the next family feud erupts over ownership.

You Little Beauty

Success is, as they say, it's own reward.

When Two Tribes Go To War...

... it is usually over a slightly bigger prize than this little urn. But we all know it is about pride not prize and I can't wait to watch them "get it on".

Black and White/White and Black

The hype is already building. Sponsors are being announced, tickets are being booked (but not yet scalped) and all manner of preparations are under way. In short, The Ashes are coming!!

The image above is borrowed from the pre series hype of the last time around. Will the trend continue and the holder have the urn snatched from their grasp?

Gimme, Gimme, Gimme

Well done Wing Commander.

Lots of good images from the last day which I will play with as the northern hemisphere hangovers set in. In the mean time, to the victor the spoils, and of course the champagne.
