Hanfg on your copies lads, you need to present them to the english team

There has to be a propper drawing somewhere. I was thinking about having a go too shmbo is a cricket tragic:confused: .... I still don't understand how it takes 5 days...... 5 days.

G'day cricket fans

Here is a photo I found to use as my model to copy from and the poem the that is inscripted on the front of the "holy grail" of cricket.

When Ivo goes back with the urn, the urn;
Studds, Steel, Read and Tylecote return, return;
The welkin will ring loud,
The great crowd will feel proud,
Seeing Barlow and Bates with the urn, the urn;
And the rest coming home with the urn.


Yeah, I know it doesn't make any sense to me either but that is the actual wording of the poem on the urn. And they were written by a lady who was smitten by the captain of the pommy cricket team in 1882.
BTW the urn is 4 inches high excluding the stand.

well if the only way you ow boys can get to keep the ashes trophy is to turn one, well thats the way to go ..good luck orl'on'ya I'll get me coat now and shut the door on my way out

thanks for the poem ,
so it is the right size , cool , is the original base made out of creamic ?

I was gonna mount it "fallen over with ashes coming out" , and give it to the pub for display ( local has all sorts of things mounted on the walls)

Big call Bikerboy! As I write this it is lunch on day four of the first test. England is 2 for 43 and still 604 in arrears. But good luck ayway....

I know it's early days yet, and the poms have recovered quite well, but I really can't see why you blokes need to make copies.
Looking at current form the urn ain't going back across the water for a while.
'Spose you could always sell them to the barmy army so they've got something to hold onto while they cry into their warm beer on the flight back home.
