The nation that brought us cricket has produced some of the most colourful characters of the game: Grace, Jardine, Compton, Cowdrey, Trueman, Boycott and Botham, all wearing the three lions with pride. Any true England Cricket supporter will tell you that watching the team perform is a roller-coaster ride, with triumph and adversity always just round the corner. In one-day cricket, England has always been the bridesmaid, being runners-up in the World Cup three times and the Champions Trophy once. In the Test Match arena, the biggest rival is Australia for The Ashes. While Australia hold the upper hand in terms of series wins, England has had some of the more notable performances, such as Botham's Ashes in 1981, the 2005 Ashes success (including the tense 2 run victory in the 2nd Test) and the notorious Bodyline Series of 1932/33. However, England can claim to be the current Olympic title holders, winning the Gold medal at the 1900 Olympics - the only time cricket has been staged at the Games. If you know an England Cricket fan and want to impress them, then this Pennygift has lots of facts and statistics to keep them occupied throughout the international calendar.
