There's been a theft in Lilliput!
Is the photographer fooling around with forced perspective or are my eyes not deceiving me?

I am fairly sure that's not quite what they are playing for - it's almost a replica version of the real Ashes urn, which is too delicate to be handled by those rough Australians (and so is largely kept in England, regardless of the result of the series!)

it is a replica - should have mentioned that (or as Lindsay Lohen would put it, should of menchened that). they sure don't call it the tiny urn for nothing.

Unfortunately, saying that the two teams are "playing" each other somewhat overstates the nature of the contest as it currently stands, too :(
