Maybe you should get it into yours that the urn is the property of the MCC, not the ECB, ICC or CA. Thus if they don't wan't it to be used as a trophy for what are objectively good reasons then shut up about it.

Out of interest why are there spelling mistakes in the Italics? Where was it taken from? Also just so you know, what has 1 badly written newspaper article got to the truth. The writer was following an editorial sytle rather than looking at the situation as a whole.

That has nothing to do with it. Basing your reasoning on emotion alone is sure to be disadvantageous in the outcome.

I'd still feel the same way if Man Utd beat Liverpool in the FA Cup Final and there's no way the winner can even touch the trophy. Unless you're an english football fan you wouldn't really feel it.....

International Captain
The Ashes urn should stay in England. The ongoing series was named in commemoration of a newspaper obituary after Australia beat England in England for the very first time in a test(as we all know), but the urn itself was presented to Ivo Bligh, England's captain a short time later on England's following tour to Australia. It was his personal property, and his widow bequeathed it to the MCC museum at Lords when he died, for public exhibition.
It's not a trophy in of itself (we have one that is separate), so there's no reason for it to change hands dependent on which country wins the series. And as others have mentioned, there are serious risks with transporting it internationally on any kind of ongoing basis. The urn belongs in the MCC museum.

But what if I get someone to write an article stating the opposite to that article - surely by your definition that will also be 100% true...

I don't put any credence in such shoddy rubbish, and believe me, I know shoddy rubbish from the articles I used to write on here.

What does it matter what the poll says, seeing as the trophy you're talking about has never been up for winning by either side?
