@@jaggass Well the Australians know that they have to let England win every now & then. If they don't then England will throw a tanturm & refuse to play anymore. 🏏😝🏏
@TriviaFreak cause adam hill is aussie, and we normally kick their sorry ass at cricket :p but we let them win that year cause we felt guilty... they did teach us how to play
Yeah, the show is made by the same guys behind Whose Line is it Anyway... so its pure improv- a very different kind of improv than Whose Line, but improv nonetheless :)
The Ashes is an annual cricket game played by Australia & England since the late Victorian era for the 'ashes' of a set of wicket stumps. The game has a *long* history of good natured (for the most part) rivalry between the two nations. Back in 1882 the English national team came to Australia to play a game against the Australian colonial cricket team. (At that time Australia wasn't yet a country, just a bunch of colonies ruled by England.) The English thought that because they were 'superior' they'd wipe the floor with the colonists. Instead they were beaten *so* badly that one English reporter called it the "Death of English cricket." As a joke the wicket stumps were 'cremated' then the 'ashes' put into a mini urn & were kept by the Australians as a trophy. The next year the English demanded a rematch. Which they won so the Australians gave them the 'ashes' & a tradition was born. Who ever wins gets to take/keep the ashes for that year. Usually Australia wins the Ashes Cup as it's formally known, but occasionally England wins. The Australians like to goad the English about how they win so often. But when the English win they get their own back. & dig the boot in a bit to the Australians. The comedian who made the joke is an Australian named Adam Hills. & as you're no doubt aware the audience he made it to is English. Hence the booing. 🇬🇧 🏏 🏆 🇦🇺

Only the bails were burnt, not the full stumps. The trophy is rather fragile now, so it stays at Lords regardless of who wins the series. A replica is awarded.
@SCD999 which sucks because the guys in charge of the aussie cricket team actually started making threats towards the cricketers families if they lost a game rofll btw, its just an aussie thing to poke fun at the poms sucking at sports xD
@TiagoPtFerreira he's Aussie so of course he thinks Australia are the best cricket team in the world. Thing is, now they're not and England appear to be number 1...finally.
@EjvindDark Why should it? English show, English language, programme is correct. Program in English has one meaning, "a series of coded software instructions to control the operation of a computer or other machine" taken straight from an English dictionary.
Of the 66 series played, 31 have resulted in England retaining The Ashes. England have also held on to them since 2009. So what you're saying is that there's a 47% chance of meeting God - an imaginary "person". Poor joke, terribly executed.
"And England have won the ashes."
Yep, that one is pretty rare.
"I'm Anne Robinson and without plastic surgery, I'd look like E.T.'s balls!!"
"It's the women's 100m final and from left to right, it's no; no; yes; maybe; from behind(?), definitely not!"
Legendary Frankie Boyle!
"and England have won the Ashes" LOL, AUSSI AUSSI AUSSI! OY OY OY!!
Overpaid...Overpaid knocks it onto Over-rated and Over-rated onto Possible-Rapist, Possible-Rapist knocks it from Closet-Gay! GOAL!
That is so true today
Frankies Brummy accent is spot on "Filom" lmaoo
Things a sports commentator would never say: "And Lewis Hamilton makes a wonderful clean pass on Felipe Massa!"
"Oh yes and that's a beautiful uppercut, and another one! But hey! The DJ is still not gonna change the track!"
ROFL
I know as an Australian, that if Adam made that joke in Australia, Australians would laugh. I know I did.. despite the last Ashes.
AND THAT BLOODY SMEAR IS WHY YOU DON'T SEE MANY STREAKERS IN FORMULA 1!
''This week on Rogue Traders Dan and Matt go to someones house and praise the builders for their excellent work they did''
