The obituary carried was as follows:<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">&quot;The body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia&quot;. It was a big insult of English cricket and the then English Captain&nbsp;Hon Ivo Bligh [later Lord Darnley], vow&nbsp;to return with &quot;the ashes&quot;; in the next tour of Australia. His Australian counterpart, WL Murdoch, similarly vowed to defend them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Few weeks later, England won the the next series by 2-1 and brought back the Ashes. In adition to 3 Test matches, England&nbsp;team played few social matches and&nbsp;It was after one such match, at the Rupertswood Estate outside Melbourne on Christmas Eve 1882, that Bligh was given the small terracotta urn as a symbol of the ashes that he had travelled to Australia to regain.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"videoWrapper\"><iframe div=\"\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BKIs191Nv78?rel=0&amp;controls=0&amp;showinfo=0\" width=\"560\"><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n",
