One-day wonders

Change the first vowel and the third consonant of the third word and you've got the England cricket team to a tee.
What a quandary for the official Ashes tour DVD makers! Having purchased the DVD for the "Greatest Ashes series ever" (I quote) following the England series win in 2005, I looked forward to adding the latest triumph to my video library, and then along came the one-dayers...
The whole misguided exercise casts a long shadow over the superb achievement of the cricketers' test incarnations, and just watch those DVD sales take a hit. Can we not just pretend it never happened?
