England destroyed in the last Ashes match against Australia
The last meeting under the flagship of the Ashes battle became one of the weakest for the guests. After losing three games and only one lucky draw, they had to show a bit of dignity before their cricket fans. However, the encounter finished in a crucial defeat.
Australia batted first and wasn’t great at the beginning of the first inning. The Aussies lost two batters with zero runs, but Head and Green delivered good numbers (101 and 74, respectively). All in all, 303 runs by the hosts’ 303 runs weren’t a scary number. However, England wasn’t able to chase even this amount of runs, responding with only 188. Moreover, it was done in the 47 overs – a disastrous result for Tests.

Australia came to the second inning even with less passion and took only a poor 155 runs with no half-centuries. But such a low scoring wasn’t the worst at this game, as the English squad delivered only 124 – an awful number even for T20 in rainy weather.
