thats what i think but the fragileness of the urn poses a problem but the ashes should be kept in australia, maybe sharing the ashes every 5 years or so u trade but i still believe at the moment the ashes should be kept here in australia

First off the Ashes is not a "trophy", I went and saw it at the Melbourne musuesm the other day and read all the history behind it.
Some aussie chick gave to an england cricketer as a momentum for the game between Australia and England (I think England won). Then X amount of years later he donated it to a museum in England. That is where it sould stay. I mean if you donated something to a museum that means alot to you would you like to see it leave not onle the museum but the Country!
btw I am Australian, and I do love when Australia wins the "Ashes" but that is really the name of the series, It doesn't mean that we won the urn, just the ashes

Because it was a one-time tour that hasn't happened for years? If you kept doing it every two years or so, there no doubt be noticeable damage caused to the thing. But seriously, who really cares? It's not as if the players would be allowed to actually handle it, even if it did return to the winning nation.

Botham was pretty damn passionate that it should stay with whoever holds the Ashes. Border and even Richard Branson agreed, but Botham was strongly putting his POV forward.
Richard Branson's comment that he feels disappointed that his airline will be involved in returning the Ashes to England was way over the top.

Big Dunc and Ashley Giles would go well with mint sauce. Why not burn Ponting too?
