Description:
The Ashes of 2001 - the Ponting-Miller Ashes, the ashes collected by Ricky Ponting and Colin Miller after a ritual burning of three bails in a tray of kerosene in 2001, after the final test match at, the oval, with Australia winning the series 4-1. As noted in Steve Waugh's Ashes Diary 2001, the Australian cricket team for the 2001 tour of England continued the earlier tradition of creating their own trophy for the mythical ashes. At, the oval test match in August 2001, three bails were burnt in a tray of kerosene by ricky Ponting and Colin Miller. Colin Miller retained the embers. Housed in a beautiful wood-turned urn, made from huon pine with a blackwood top, marked on base 'Designed by Tony Peake, P.D.Joinery, 2008', with silver plaque engraved 'The Ashes, 2001'. Ex Colin Miller collection.
