That was some ending. Amazing.

Sen-fuckin-sational

 

[LamieRobertson]

WOW magical!!!

 

[Soton Seagull]

Never doubted it!

What a send off

 

[dazzer6666]

Great way for Broad to finish, great series (with a large slice of what might have been).

 

[The Fits]

Well done Broad.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Air of inevitability about Broad finishing them off. What a day.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Great way for Broad to finish, great series (with a large slice of what might have been).

The good old English summer weather...

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Phew........a relief not to lose the series.....a series we really should have won....... but hey ho.....finished strongly in the last three Tests.

 

[Sid and the Sharknados]

Just remembered that Broad's first test 5fer was in the 2009 Oval test when Flintoff signed off by running out Ponting.
Something nicely symmetrical about that.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Great match, great result.

 

[A1X]

Away Ashes series wins;

Ajmal Shahzad - 1
Steve Smith - 0
David Warner - 0

 

[Eeyore]

I'd give Woakes MOM for this one.

Now that all that silliness is over we can all enjoy the Hundred. I'm sure it will be just as enthralling

 

[Triggaaar]

It was a great series. Ponting reckons both teams take credit for that, but the truth is it was because of Bazball. If we'd played the way the Aussies do, we'd be drawing the tests.

Ponting also thought 2-2 was a fair result - funny he'd say that, when they cheated for 1 win, and only got a draw in one because we had 2 days of rain. I'll always remember us winning the 2023 Ashes.

 

[Gwylan]

Written in the stars for Broad to wrap it up ... Woakes was the real star though. Pity he's so pony abroad.

 

[keaton]

The big fella giving the medals out should really lose the tie, it's making him looking fatter and more drunk

 

[Eeyore]

Now that all that silliness is over we can all enjoy the Hundred. I'm sure it will be just as enthralling

Call it for what in reality it was a failed campaign. It did not achieve what it had been set-up to do which was to win back The Ashes.

You probably will enjoy the Hundred
