Australia have sealed the Ashes with a commanding 4-1 win. The Ashes ended in just eighteen days, and the Aussies have ticked all the boxes in all the series. England, who made a lot of noise about playing an entertaining style of Test cricket termed as Bazball, did not reap any kind of sweet results for them on the Australia tour. Australia have now added more salt to England's injury and have defeated them by 5 wickets.
It is not just the Ashes defeat that will hurt England, but it is also their World Test Championship 2027 campaign that isn't going as planned. England have played India and Australia across 10 Test matches so far in the ongoing cycle, and unfortunately for them, they haven't been able to achieve much.
