Australia once again defeated England 4-0 and lifted the Ashes series on Sunday. Throughout the series the English team looked very ordinary especially in batting. None of the English batters managed to impress. Even Captain Joe Root also failed to perform. Though English bowlers tried hard to restrict Australia a number of times in the series it was the batters who failed to capitalise after that completely.

The England team has disappointed the way Team India has displayed its poor performance at the recently concluded Test series against South Africa.

It is very sad to see the mighty English and India team lacking in their approach in Test matches. Something went wrong definitely in their approach.

Meanwhile, full credit goes to Australian captain Pat Cummins for leading his team from the front. He also displayed his best performance in the series as a bowler and captain.

Australia looked to be in full control throughout the series in all departments. This shows once again Australia is trying to become the best team. We hope under Cummins Australia will regain their old charm.
