text_A: Douglas Adams's 1982 science fiction comedy novel "Life, the Universe and Everything" – the third part of "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series – features the urn containing the Ashes as a significant element of its plot. Extra-terrestrial robots manage to steal the urn, because the burnt cricket stump itself is actually part of the key that they need to unfasten the locked "Wikkit Gate" to free the world of Krikkit, that is imprisoned therein.
text_B: Is it possible that the English author of this novel was making a commentary on the needlessly complex rules of cricket, by implying that judicial matters on the planet Krikkit likewise have lots of layers of redundancy and complexity (rather than just one all-important, key layer)?
NO.
