My big issue is that having short form cricket games and calling it "the ashes" should be illegal.Unpopular opinion - the women's Ashes is far more interesting than the Big Bash. The Aussies won a tight 2nd ODI today by 21 runs, to edge ahead in favouritism to retain the urn. If you happen to watch the highlights, the highlight for me was Alana King's equivalent of Warne's Gatting ball: brilliant stuff!!!
For me I just wish they would have the test match and call that the ashes. Eventually pushing for a 2, then 3 match series.Then have a separate short form mixed (t20 and odi) series and call that whatever they want.
I could get behind that 100%. But not what they've done.
