Broad finishes his career with a six (batting) and a wicket (bowling).
Blessed.

Amazing stuff, a test match winning wicket with your last ever ball |

Real Rorschach test that series - a pessimist could see it as our best chance to win the ashes in years squandered by a few bad decisions, with probably half this team unlikely to play another. The more positive amongst us (which I am, at cricket at least) will think it was just brilliant start to finish. Drawn women's ashes, drawn men's ashes, Aus looking miles ahead in both and England nearly, nearly managing the comeback only to finish even.

I’m only recently getting back into cricket, but Australia literally won the world championship a couple of months ago, right?
A drawn series won on points is a good result, surely
Also, only watching cricket for the first time in years - how long has the TV direction been so haphazard?! Lost count of the number of wild camera angle cuts to nowhere

They did but the world test championship is a bit of a weird event that hasn't really got the prestige it sounds like it should have - more club world cup than world cup!

I'm with you on this. After the 2021/22 series I thought we were miles behind Australia and were likely to be twatted in this one. The turn around from that, and the West Indies tour last spring is amazing. We used largely the same group of players as the last ashes series but the team is unrecognizable. |

No, nothing, all done now with the Aussies. The One Day World Cup is in a couple of months. |

Don't know if it just clickbait but, seen a couple of articles suggesting Ponting and McGrath demanding investigations into a couple of 'issues' after the loss to England.
