england reclaimed the ashes
last week england had a 2-1 series win against australia, so england reclaimed the ashes for the 1st time in 18 years. i won’t even pretend to know anything about cricket, but i know this is very exciting for england, so yay!
cricket is such a big deal to the english that, for example, douglas adams named a planet krikkit in the hitchhiker’s guide series. the people of krikkit became quite homicidal, thus they & their solar system were sealed in a slo-time envelope, which is locked by the wikkit gate. there are 5 parts to the key of the wikkit gate, including a silver bail, a golden bail [which also controls the infinite improbability drive of a ship called the heart of gold], and a wooden pillar [the cricket stump that eventually became the ashes].
