Ashes cricket-related show

After the incredible day's play at Trent Bridge yesterday I sat down and tried to find some songs which could be to do with the various aspects of cricket - bowling, batting, catching, scoring runs - and more general sporting themes like winning and losing and I even found a couple of songs with Ashes in the title. Bats in the Attic could be about cricket bats!
