That was one hell of a whipping of the England test team. Series over with two matches to go.
Very proud of the comments re the Man of the Match, the Indigenous Scotty Boland.
This is a very special moment.
You have to see this to believe it.

England surrendered the Ashes in embarrassing fashion in Melbourne, blitzed for 68 all out in their second innings by Australia, who take an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series in just 12 days of cricket.

The debutant Scott Boland finished with astonishing figures of six wickets for seven runs as Australia retained the urn in spectacular style at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. The hosts won by an innings and 14 runs.

A tour that has lurched from disappointment to disappointment literally since ball one - when Rory Burns lost his off stump - plumbed new lows as England lasted just 50 minutes on the third morning of the Boxing Day Test.

There was no fight, no quality and no respite as England resumed on 31 for four and lost their next six for another 37, failing to even make Australia bat again.

4. Well, thank you, I guess...

I don't feel like I actually did anything to deserve the congrats, seeing as I think cricket is the world's most boring game, and I only knew the Ashes were happening because there was something on Sunrise about a covid scare and testing and whether it was necessary for the English team to isolate when they'd done that super-quick self-test where you don't have to line up at a testing station and wait for hours only to be told at 5pm to come back the next day...

5. Great match- sweet for days

The phrase we use is Anyone but England which is part of the title of a book on cricket by the late American Mike Marqusee.
