We have been terrible with the bat! The Aussies deserve the series win! Our batsman need a massive look at themselves because they ain’t played their part one bit!

Depressing thought. England will struggle to win an Ashes series until Steve Smith retires 🤷🏼‍♂️

Very pleased to see Glamorgan’s Marnus Labuschagne win the Ashes. As the saying goes, strong Glamorgan, strong Australia...

So close but yet so far I suppose. Congrats to for the thorough preparation for this Ashes. I guess we can't win everything this year. Hardly had a bowling attack to paper over the cracks of the batting. It was a great series nonetheless.

Someone’s salty. Enjoy your World Cup win. I’ll enjoy our ashes. 😘
