Australia leads the Ashes series 3-0 with comfortable wins in the first three tests to already retain and secure the coveted urn. The last innings of the third test saw England bowled out for an abysmal 68 runs with English broadcaster Piers Morgan tweeting
“England all out 68- and the Ashes are gone in the most humiliating manner imaginable,” he said.
England Cricket captain Joe Root echoed those sentiments telling Adam Gilchrist post-match that the results are more than inadequate.
“I’m absolutely gutted, bitterly disappointed,” he said.
“We need to put some pride back in the badge,”
“Got a lot of hard work to do to make sure we come back strong in the last two games.”
As only the second indigenous male to be a part of the Ashes, Bolland expressed how much the award meant to him by stating “it’s something I’m very proud of” to a crowd of 40,000 at the MCG.
It took the Australian Cricket team only 12 days to secure the series with the Australians having played remarkably well, and no one is more proud than Australian Cricket team captain Pat Cummins who is over the moon with the performance of his players.
“I’m so proud of the group here,” he told News.com.
“Everything’s clicked, worked out,”
“Just an amazing feeling.”
England has not won an Ashes series in Australia since 2011 and overall Australia has won a total of 33 series whereas England has only won 32 according to the BBC UK.
The next test will be played at the Sydney Cricket Ground starting January 5th at 9:30 am Australian EST.
