they blew england out of the water.r is pride and country. we came into this ashes series with every hope that england could compete after what we saw in 2023, but it's looking like that was an outlier. they said all along they've been close. we've been competiting, we're not far away. they are miles away! they have been miles away. in some aspects, and some passages of play, they have been close but they've not been close for long enough. i think that's where australia have been so good, it's when they have given england the sniff, england haven't been able to take it and then capitalise on that. so, look, they are miles away to be completely honest and something has to change within the team and the environment because if england have got to compete against australia for the next ten years for the foreseeable future, they've got to be better. dare i say it, but if england were to win a game or two, does that rather paper over the cracks? i think so in a way. i think if england could come out with two, four, six points

i mean, england had a sniff.eth mooney and ash gardner that that set australia up perfectly to accelerate the back end of the innings. and in the first two 0dis, the teams for me, although the victories were massive for australia, the teams were a lot closer than it felt today. australia were just world class. i almost feel like though the margin of victory was huge, england didn't do too much wrong. no, it's one of those where england actually kept themselves in the game for as long as possible. and then there was an unbelievable catch from phoebe litchfield to dismiss danni wyatt. and that changed the game. and you often say in white ball cricket that moments of brilliance do change the game. and it did. and it was one of those where you look at the scorecard and it's a massive victory for australia. and they are on the brink of retaining the ashes yet again. but today australia were just better than england. a brief word on that match from ash gardner. you spoke about phoebe litchfield, ash gardner. what a day

also, australia are better than england. australia are by far better than england. they are better. and there was a few mistakes today for me. beth mooney showed how to bat, she got 94. i mean she got 94, england got 90. i've got it written on my hand. but she played down the ground. she kept hitting shots down the ground straight back. england cross—batted shots kept getting out. and you can't do that on a wicket like that. it's getting to the point. we heard from grace harris, the australia batter, that they wanted to embarrass england or she said that they are embarrassing england. yeah, they were tonight and i'vejust spoken to darcy brown, who said the same. you know, we're thinking about the whitewash. we think we are now thinking about embarrassing england. and i actually think they embarrass themselves tonight. yeah. it's not been a good tour for england. it certainly wasn't a good game here in adelaide. and heading towards that test match at the mcg, the prospect of history for australia, a clean sweep across the multi—format series. well our team out in ade
