- Description
The cartoon shows two heaps of ashes with cricket caps on top. The cap on the larger (Australian) heap has donkey ears from which dangle corks surrounded by flies and the smaller heap represents New Zealand. Text above reads 'The NZ & Australian cricket teams are smokin'. The words 'THE ASHES' are writ large across the frame. A second version has text reading 'The NZ & Australian cricket teams are playing with matches'. Refers to a dire assessment by former England all-rounder Andrew Flintoff who says of his one-time Ashes foes after they were soundly beaten, that the Australia cricket side is in "disarray" and won't recover unless Warne reprises his match-winning ability. The 41-year-old Warne played the last of his 145 Tests against England nearly four years ago, but Flintoff is adamant the spin great can reinvigorate the ailing Aussies. The former New Zealand cricket coach David Trist says of the Black Caps that it's time for a complete review of game and it's administration in the wake of a dismal string of results in India and Bangladesh.
