Who won the Ashes? v/s Colonial Cousins

So me and some mates were at this English Pub a few nights back for a trivia quiz. The task on hand was to come up with a name for our team. We racked our brains for 3 minutes and narrowed down our choices to the names mentioned above. Eventually we went with the former. Here's the rationale for doing so. Hopefully, it will help you decide which name to go with when you get in touch with me for your set of brand names.

We chose Who won the Ashes? because we were in an English pub and were looking for something that would grab a lot more balls than a name like Colonial Cousins. That said, considering we were a team of Indians and Aussies, the latter wasn't such a bad choice. It's just that since we were there to launch ourselves, we thought it made more sense to go with 'more timely' and 'more provocative'. Instructive thoughts, I think, if and when you're faced with a clutch of name options to choose from.
