This magnificent signed Ashes Presentation pays tribute to England’s heroic efforts in 2011.
Andrew Strauss, the hero of 2005 and captain of the 2009 Ashes win, led England to their first Ashes victory in Australia for 24 years.
England’s Alastair Cook took player of the series scoring a massive 766 runs, and Jimmy Anderson top wicket taker with 24. Both played a crucial role in bringing the Ashes home for England.
This superb special edition presentation centers on a bat personally signed by Strauss. Either side of this are celebration photos featuring Jimmy Anderson, Alastair Cook and Strauss and Ponting holding the famous Ashes Urn.
It is presented in a stunning wood surround with double mounts and two plaques that list the result of every Test Match together with a synopsis of the match as follows.
“The Sydney Cricket Ground, that most famous of all Australian sporting stages, stood as a monument to English excellence as this humbled, chastened and - yes - humiliated nation came to terms with the reality that their era of greatness has finally come to a crushing end while another takes hold. Let the era of English dominance begin”.
It measures in at a large and impressive 90cm by 63cm and also supplied is a photo of Strauss signing the bat at an exclusive signing. A stunning item to celebrate a momentous moment in English cricket history.
