The battle for the famous urn has developed into the most hardly fought series in cricket history. At cricshop.com you can discover everything you need to know about The Ashes.

History of The Urn

A huge variety of material is available covering the history of the series, the matches that have defined the Ashes and some of the many characters that have played a leading role over the years since the first game was played back in 1882.

In the years since, there have been many memorable encounters, such as the infamous 'bodyline' series in the 1930s.

There are many DVDs that take a trip back in time, featuring some of the most famous games between England and the Aussies over the years. We also stock a selection of great books covering fascinating stories and tales of the many big characters that have participated in this long-running series.

England Winning The Ashes

There are a number of books, CDs and DVDs available from cricshop.com celebrating the story of that memorable summer of 2005 when England won a famous victory - now acknowledged as the greatest Ashes battle ever.

Even though victory was short-lived, and the Ashes urn returned to the Aussies in 2007, reliving the events of 2005 with a book, CD or DVD is an uplifting experience for every England cricket fan and as a reminder of great sporting times.
