The little trophy that has the ashes inside, are they real ashes? :p
Someone once told me that the trophy has the burnt ashes in it from a cricket bat? :p

The little trophy that England and Australia play for is actually the replica of the original urn, which had burnt ashes from bails of a stump, not cricket bat. The original urn is in possesion of the MCC. Hope this was helpful :D

Ah brilliant, i get it now! :D
I love learning new things and I'll enjoy learning about cricket! :thumbs
 
There's a Humble Bundle available right now in support of the wildlife impacted by the bushfires in Australia. Link to the bundle to take a look yourself - https://www.humblebundle.com/games/australia-fire-relief - one of the games there is one I worked on at Big Ant, Masquerade - The Baubles of Doom - as well as a bunch of other great games, a lot of them developed by other Aussie studios. Check it out, and buy it if you can!

I just bought the bundle myself - I did have a duplicate of Euro Truck Simulator 2 in my Steam library - so I'll give that away to the first reply here who wants it.
 
I have been planning to buy ETS myself. It would be great if you give it away to me.

I'll try to buy other games :)

Edit: I just checked the games on sale and some are really nice. Will definitely buy 1 or 2.
 
I have a cricket question! :)


If a batter hits the ball and a fielder catches it, is that batter automatically out of the game? :)
 
How long does a game of cricket last?

Does cricket go into extra time like football?

If a spectator catches the ball does the batsman have another go?

:wave

The Time depends on what format of cricket it is.
There are 3 formats in the international Cricket:
1. T20 (20-20 Overs)
2. ODI (50-50 Overs)
3. Test Match (It takes 4-5 days)
A Overs consist of 6 balls.

A cricket goes for super Overs in case of tie scores.

If a spectator catches the ball then he/she has to return it to the fielder.

Even I didn't know about this. I thought they used the original one. Thanks for clarifying it. :thumbs
