From the late 19th century England and Australia have met twice every four years and, since 1882, the prize for the series winners has been a tiny urn, purportedly containing the ashes of a bail burned after England had lost at The Oval. This edition includes a feature on the 2009 series in England.

Review:

"This is magnificent use of a treasure store which is seen by so relatively few and much of which is not on public view simply because there is so much of it. More, please." Independent on Sunday"
