They are the greatest 100 cricketers (from England and Australia) to have played in the Ashes celebrated in a unique NFT (digital art) collection.
The players have been chosen and ranked from 1 to 100 by Simon Hughes - The Analyst - with help from England great Sir Geoffrey Boycott - who played in nine Ashes series (1964-81) and renowned Australian cricket writer Gideon Haigh who has covered every Ashes since the 1980s.
The criteria used was overall Ashes record (runs, wickets, hundreds, average and other vital stats) plus their overall impact on match/series outcomes.

The NFT project roadmap has become a crypto cliche at the speed of a Thommo thunderbolt. Our plan is to see where this collection takes us. We have a kit bag of lively ideas around growing our community, offering you rewards and surprises, new collections, innovative ways to bring you and the game together. This is the first step. We invite you to be part of it.
Simple, really. We’re not fans of Ethereum. It’s terrible for the environment. Large swathes of the NFT community conveniently ignore this. We do like Tezos. It’s synonymous with a community that cares about the planet. The fact is an NFT minted on Tezos uses somewhere in the region of 2 million times less energy than Ethereum. When you look at the facts, it’s a no-brainer.
