Saturday's sporting trivia

Crickets the Ashes’ unique name comes from the embarrassment of an English defeat. When Australia beat England in 1882, British journalist Reginald Shirley Brooks claimed that English cricket had died, the body cremated, and the ashes taken to Australia. The English captain at the time, Ivo Bligh, then vowed to reclaim the Ashes for England.
