Andrew Flintoff has devised a unique way to commemorate the two Ashes victories of 2005 and 2009.

Flintoff may be moving around with a machine (continuous passive motion) strapped to his knee to recuperate from the surgery he underwent post Ashes, but he has certainly not lost out on the Ashes fervour.
Apparently, Flintoff is remodelling his home in Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, a home that has cost him four million pounds, into a six bedroom home to move in with his wife, Rachel Flintoff, and their three children.
But he is having another unique momento in his home - two pools. But wait - each of the pools will have a 3000 pound mosaic resembling the Ashes urn put in at the bottom. While the plan was supposed to be in place before England wrapped up the Ashes at the Oval, it has now been revised to include the two dates 2005, and 2009 to mark England's stunning victories in the traditional Test series.
