Today marks the start of the latest episode in the biggest international sporting rivalry in the world: The Ashes.

England and Australia fight for a 10.5 cm wooden trophy every two years and have done since 1882.

There are five matches in the series each lasting all-day for five days. This is sport at its finest.

          Indeed, each to their own.

          btw, cricket now comes in many formats these days due to TV pressures. The shortest version only lasts a couple of hours and even has a live band between each innings.
