Amazing series. Wow! Ashes consistently delivers. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant comeback from England. Were well placed to win the 3rd test too. They been great. No argument.

 

[Heisenborg]

Must be nice having a 5 match test series. Next up india

I think England will have the biggest regrets.

Forget about the rained out Manchester Test when England where in the pound seats.

I think,
1. The early declaration on the first day of the series.
2. Bairtsow's dumb brain fart moment "run out".

Will be regretted by England.

3. Bairstow being picked over foakes. All those missed opportunities tsk tsk.

brilliant series

dont know if england were very good or aus just crashed

but that new ball definitely swinged the game and the rain as well

but brilliant series from the 1st ball to the last

 

[RunningFromFat]

As a neutral, you cannot ask for much more except for both teams to be fully fit and less rain. Would love have to seen more lyon + leach in action. I think australia were a bit below par but that can also be accredited to the way England plays and tries to pressure teams.

I think khawaja should've earned AUS POTS.

You can already see when one of the openers fires it sets the tone for rest of the innings.
Den Bucket has been very good for Eng and it's helped Crawley blossom.

Weirdly, Australia were slower in general but because of how the rules work, only one of their bowling innings fell foul of the rules. Things like if an innings lasts less than 80 overs or two innings last less than 160 overs combined get considered, not just raw over rate.

The one and only Aussie bowling innings that was considered cost them 10 points...England lost 19 points across 7 innings.
