O tomto filmu

FROM THE ASHES is the uplifting and remarkable tale of a summer that changed England forever. July 1981, rioting and discontent rule the streets of Britain. Meanwhile, on the playing fields, England are 1-0 down after two tests against the old enemy, Australia; and Ian Botham, their iconic all-rounder, has resigned as English captain, moments before being pushed. With English cricket on the brink, bookmakers offer odds of 500-1 against an English win in the 3rd Test. Yet, a reinvigorated Ian Botham refuses to lie down and rediscovers his cavalier flair in a series of match winning performances that enthrall a nation and see the Ashes retained. © 2011 NEW BLACK FILMS.

This story should be about the 6 Australians who bet against themselves. That particular English team couldn't win at backyard cricket. Did you ever wonder why it's now against the law to bet against yourself in sport?
