England have regained the Ashes from the Aussie's. Yeah, baby!
For those of you not in the know, here is a bit of backstory...
Possession of the Ashes is fought over between England and Australia - Australia having had them for 18(?) years... until now. All the trophy is, is a small urn filled with the Ashes of a cricket bat. This cricket bat was used by the Australian Shane "Lightfingers" Shaneworthy to kill an English gentleman - Hence Shane being sent to a prison isle. This became Australia.
In memory of this, England and Australia play each other at cricket, and whoever wins gets to keep the Ashes.
