# The Ashes 2010: England captain Andrew Strauss finds the omens are good for
|
|
beating Australia
|
|
|
|
## In times of great stress, as now when the Ashes are at stake, one of the
|
|
straws we cling to - like people of primitive beliefs - is the omen. And for
|
|
England's supporters the omens are good.

Only a dozen [**England**][4] captains have won an [**Ashes**][5] series in
|
|
[**Australia**][6]. But four of them - Andrew Stoddart, Pelham Warner, Mike
|
|
Brearley and Mike Gatting - have come from Middlesex, and so does Andrew
|
|
Strauss.
|
|
|
|
Another omen is that Strauss has much in common with the first England captain
|
|
to win the Ashes, and the one who inspired their creation in a physical form,
|
|
on Christmas Eve in 1882: the Honourable Ivo Bligh.
|
|
|
|
Strauss does not have a title - although if he retains the Ashes it would be
|
|
only a matter of time - but otherwise the parallels are so numerous as to make
|
|
a favourable omen.
|
|
|
|
While it would be fair to generalise that England captains on tour of
|
|
Australia have had their romantic attachments, Bligh and Strauss have gone so
|
|
far as to marry them.
|
|
|
|
Perhaps thereby they have known the country and their opponents better, and
|
|
felt less alienated, more at home.

Both spouses came from rural Victoria: one from Ballarat, the other from
|
|
Beechworth. Strauss met Ruth in a bar in Sydney. Bligh met Florence at the
|
|
country mansion of Rupertswood, at Sunbury, just outside Melbourne.
|
|
|
|
She went there to be governess after the death of her father, who had been in
|
|
charge of the goldfields at Beechworth, had impoverished her family.
|
|
|
|
It would be harsh to call Florence a gold-digger: when she was misinformed
|
|
that Bligh's ship from Brisbane to Sydney had sunk and he had drowned, she
|
|
swooned. But she was auburn-haired, with tigerish eyes, and formidable.
|
|
|
|
Bligh and Strauss share the same background: southern Englishmen of
|
|
comfortable means, private education, all-round sporting ability and affable
|
|
nature, but with a strong sense of duty towards their players.
|
|
|
|
Both can be credited with implementing a profound change in the culture of
|
|
England's cricket, and achieving an unprecedented degree of team unity.
|
|
|
|
The six English cricket teams to tour Australia before Bligh had been either
|
|
professional or amateur, and had behaved abominably.
|
|
|
|
The professionals had drunk and gambled - even on matches in which they played
|
|
- and the amateurs were even worse, notably Dr W G Grace. His tour fee was
|
|
higher than a whole professional team put together, plus expenses that
|
|
included all he could drink.
|
|
|
|
Bligh changed the culture with his team of eight amateurs and four
|
|
professionals, all of whom travelled first class and ate at the same table.
|
|
|
|
Two of his professionals were Nottinghamshire men who had gone on strike the
|
|
previous year after demanding summer contracts and a benefit for 10 years'
|
|
service.
|
|
|
|
The Notts committee considered this appalling and suspended them, but not
|
|
Bligh or MCC.
|
|
|
|
Strauss changed the culture of this England team, even before Andy Flower
|
|
became head coach. Whereas Bligh minimised the them-and-us division between
|
|
amateurs and pros, Strauss has done the same to the gulf between players and
|
|
management.
|
|
|
|
The old hierarchy is gone: a player is not told to jump, he is responsible for
|
|
jumping as high as he can, with all the support of the coaching staff.
|
|
|
|
Will the parallels continue? Bligh lost his main fast bowler, from
|
|
Nottinghamshire, to injury. Fred Morley, indeed, died within two years; but
|
|
Stuart Broad's stomach-muscle injury has not been diagnosed as serious.
|
|
|
|
Again, in Bligh's time, Australia had the best pace bowler on either side -
|
|
for Fred Spofforth read Mitchell Johnson - but England under Bligh won their
|
|
Ashes series 2-1 thanks to their team unity.
|
|
|
|
Team unity is no abstract: it takes the material form of fine fielding. In
|
|
this series, whereas Australia dropped 10 chances in the first two Tests,
|
|
England's fielding has been consistently good, and it has been sound for so
|
|
long that it can be relied upon even in the most heated moments.
|
|
|
|
All it lacks is subtlety: for someone to lure Mike Hussey into taking one of
|
|
his innumerable quick singles and, by dint of superior anticipation, run him
|
|
out.
|
|
|
|
We assume that standards have risen but still no fielder who has played a
|
|
handful or more Tests for England has equalled the number of catches per game
|
|
of Bligh, who specialised at point, and George Studd, who averaged two per
|
|
Test.
|
|
|
|
Whatever Strauss can achieve though in the next fortnight, only one England
|
|
captain inspired the creation of the Ashes in their physical form.
|
|
|
|
It happened at Rupertswood when Bligh went to stay for Christmas in 1882 - and
|
|
to propose to Florence, even though she was but a governess and he the second
|
|
son of Lord Cobham.
|
|
|
|
Rupertswood had been built in the 1870s by Sir William Clarke, the first
|
|
Australian to be knighted, and named after his son Rupert. It has not changed.
|
|
|
|
For Christmas Eve, Sir Willliam's wife Janet, as the perfect hostess, had one
|
|
of her ideas: a cricket match between Bligh and the seven members of his team
|
|
who were house guests, and the Clarkes and their friends and their estate
|
|
workers.
|
|
|
|
A photograph taken that day 138 years ago survives: ladies in their long
|
|
dresses and white hats, gentlemen suited, all in the shade of the trees above
|
|
the paddock.
|
|
|
|
Bligh's team won the pick-up game, naturally, and afterwards Janet presented a
|
|
prize to him. What was it? As with all of life's great mysteries, we shall
|
|
never know precisely, but it was some prototype of the urn.
|
|
|
|
One estate worker who played in the game, when interviewed late in life,
|
|
claimed a bail had been burnt. But the descendants of Sir William Clarke said
|
|
the stumps and bails had been borrowed for the game from Sunbury cricket club
|
|
and they would have been returned intact.
|
|
|
|
When I met the daughter-in-law of Ivo and Florence a couple of years ago, she
|
|
was adamant that it was a veil which had been originally burnt, not a bail.
|
|
Her mother-in-law had told her that Melbourne was a windy city, and society
|
|
ladies wore chiffon scarves and veils to protect their hair. And a veil would
|
|
be far easier to burn than a bail.
|
|
|
|
What were these ashes, of whatever was burnt, put into? The descendant of one
|
|
servant said it was a crystal bowl. Or else it was a terracotta urn. The urn.
|
|
|
|
The valueless, yet priceless, urn - so tiny and so massive - for which
|
|
Australia's and England's cricketers are now competing.
|
|
|
|
The myth of the Ashes had just been created, after Australia had won their
|
|
first Test in England, by the epic margin of seven runs at the Oval.
|
|
|
|
English cricket had died that September at the Oval, according to a witty
|
|
notice in the _Sporting Times_, and the body was going to be cremated 'and the
|
|
ashes taken to Australia'.
|
|
|
|
Soon, Bligh was perceived to be going there to redeem England's honour and
|
|
bring the ashes home; but they had no tangible form until that country house
|
|
party on Christmas Eve.
|
|
|
|
After sifting through the accounts and traditions, I am inclined to think a
|
|
veil was burned.
|
|
|
|
But after Bligh had won the Sydney Test, to clinch the series 2-1, we know he
|
|
brought back one pair of the bails that had been used in the match. One bail
|
|
was made into a paperweight kept at Rupertswood.
|
|
|
|
The other? I believe it was burned, ceremonially, and its ashes put into the
|
|
terracotta urn which Janet had brought back from Italy and may have used for
|
|
keeping some make-up like kohl.
|
|
|
|
A cutting from the Australian edition of _Punch_ after that Sydney Test was
|
|
stuck on the side. It was the best verse of a poem:
|
|
|
|
_When Ivo goes back with the urn, the urn, Studds, Steel, Read and Tylecote
|
|
return, return; _
|
|
|
|
_The welkin will ring loud, _
|
|
|
|
_The great crowd will feel proud, _
|
|
|
|
_Seeing Barlow and Bates with the urn, the urn; _
|
|
|
|
_And the rest coming home with the urn._
|
|
|
|
Not the finest piece of poetry composed: 'welkin' is an Old English word for
|
|
'sky' or 'firmament'. But the verse has a certain mesmeric power, and it
|
|
distinguishes this urn from other holy grails.
|
|
|
|
After Bligh married Florence, the couple lived in Melbourne - with their young
|
|
family and the Ashes. Then they moved to England, not so much to work as to
|
|
play golf: Ivo liked to beat his lifelong friend the Honourable Alfred
|
|
Lyttleton at golf just as much as Strauss likes beating Paul Collingwood.
|
|
|
|
When Ivo's elder brother died, he became Lord Cobham and the benevolent owner
|
|
of Cobham Hall in Kent, while Florence, from the Victorian bush, became
|
|
friendly with the Queen.
|
|
|
|
But the couple really came into their own in the First World War when they
|
|
turned Cobham Hall into a hospital for Australian servicemen.
|
|
|
|
The Ashes urn lived on their mantelpiece in Cobham Hall, occasionally knocked
|
|
off and cleaned by the servants, so there is no chance of the original
|
|
substance remaining.
|
|
|
|
But its fame not only lives on, it becomes ever more illustrious with every
|
|
passing series.
|
|
|
|
Holding a replica aloft at the end of the Sydney Test will be the climax of
|
|
the career of Ricky Ponting, or of Strauss. And if it is the latter, the verse
|
|
can be updated:
|
|
|
|
_When Strauss goes back with the urn, the urn, Swann, Bell, Cook and KP
|
|
return, return; _
|
|
|
|
_The welkin will ring loud, _
|
|
|
|
_The great crowd will feel proud, _
|
|
|
|
_Seeing Anderson and Finn with the urn, the urn; _
|
|
|
|
_And the rest coming home with the urn. _
