Ashes 2025-26: How England lost latest Ashes series down under in just 11 days
- Thread starter Defeate
- Start date
Ugh, I'm still trying to process how Australia dominated that Ashes series like they did 
. I mean, 4-0? That's just brutal. You'd think England would've put up more of a fight, especially with some talented batsmen on their side.
But what really got me was the reaction from the English fans
. It felt like they were expecting to win that series and getting stomped instead is just... 
. I know cricket can be a slow-paced game, but come on! If you're gonna get smashed by 4-0, you gotta own up to it and have some fun with the Aussie fans 
.
On a more serious note, though, Pat Cummins's interview was pretty insightful
️. He talked about how his team adapted their strategy mid-series to take advantage of England's weaknesses. That kind of tactical thinking is what separates top teams from the rest.
Anyway, I'm still nostalgic for those 90s-2000s Ashes series
. There was something magical about watching those classic matches on TV with my family 
. Ah, the good old days...

what was up with England's batting line-up? They just got mugged by Australia 4-0? 
Ollie Pope getting out for just 19 runs is embarrassing 
and don't even get me started on the rest of them. I mean, where was that level of cricket coming from in the first place? 
Anyway, Aussie captain Pat Cummins seems to have done a good job, but let's be real, it's not like they were exactly dominating England 4-0 by chance 
I need some more convincing before I give them all the credit. And on the cricket news front, can we please get some updates on what's going to happen next? The wait is killing me

And on the cricket news front, can we please get some updates on what's going to happen next? The wait is killing me I'm still reeling from that crushing 4-0 win for Australia ! Ollie Pope's 19 runs was just heartbreaking to watch - what could've been with a bit more luck 
? But gotta give it to the Aussies, they played some amazing cricket and deserved every bit of that victory 
. Pat Cummins' interview really gave us an insight into how his team approached the series - their strategy and tactics were spot on 
. And speaking of upcoming matches, I'm hyped for the India vs England series coming up soon 
! Can't wait to see what the Aussies do next 
I'm not surprised Australia cleaned up in that Ashes series 
. They've been looking solid as a team for years now, and it's clear they're focused on winning major tournaments like the World Cup. Meanwhile, England's been playing catch-up, trying to figure out who their best players are - Pope's performance was definitely a low point 
. I'm not sure if the ECB's recruitment policies have done enough to bring in fresh talent from overseas, that's something they'll need to take another hard look at. It's interesting Pat Cummins is being touted as one of the top captains in the game - his leadership style must be doing wonders for Australia's team cohesion 
. Can't deny the Aussies played some great cricket this time around, but I still think England can come back stronger and more competitive next series...

Can't deny the Aussies played some great cricket this time around, but I still think England can come back stronger and more competitive next series... I'm not sure how much of that Ashes series was actually fair play... Australia just looked way stronger to me 
. Like, I get it, Ollie Pope's 19 runs aren't gonna save anyone but still . And Pat Cummins seems like a solid captain and all 
, but the Aussie team seemed so in sync with each other 
.I'm not saying England didn't make some mistakes or anything
, but 4-0 just feels kinda... one-sided 
. Cricket's always about strategy and whatnot, but sometimes it feels like one team just outclasses the other 
. Not saying that's a bad thing, by the way - Australia did play some amazing cricket ! But still, you'd think there would be a bit more competition 
.The player ratings section sounds interesting though
, I'm looking forward to checking it out 
. Maybe we can learn something about what went wrong for England ?Ugh, can't believe how one-sided that Ashes series was ... I mean, 4-0? That's just brutal. It feels like Australia was playing a different sport altogether. And poor Ollie Pope, getting out for just 19 runs? He's usually a solid player, but I guess even the best of us have off days .
I was watching some of the highlights with my mates and we were all saying how England just couldn't get going. They had some good moments, but it wasn't enough to stem the tide against the Aussie team. And Pat Cummins seems like a really smart captain - I love how he's always looking for ways to improve his strategy.
I do have to say though, that last match was a real nail-biter... at least for me, watching it back
. But overall, Australia just outplayed them, plain and simple. Time to dust off the old cricket gear and hope for a better series next time

Australia just dominated that series... I mean, you gotta respect their skills on the pitch, but it's still sad to see England go down like that Ollie Pope's dismissal was a low point for him, and for England as a whole... just can't seem to catch a break right now
on a more positive note, I loved watching Pat Cummins' interviews after the matches he seems like such a cool and laid-back guy, but also super focused on winning 
I'm curious to see how England will bounce back from this loss, maybe they'll come out stronger next time ️ cricket's always been an underrated sport in my opinion... don't get me wrong, it's not for everyone

. England needs a serious revamp, stat 
. That 4-0 loss won't be forgotten anytime soon 
Wow , can't believe how one-sided that Ashes series was! Australia totally dominated England . I mean, 4-0 is huge, but Ollie Pope's dismissal was so unlucky for him - just 19 runs is a lot to lose and still get bowled out . Interesting , Pat Cummins' leadership really paid off this time around - he made some bold decisions that really paid dividends for the team 
. And I'm loving the coverage on upcoming matches - got my fingers crossed for the next series!

! i mean, 4-0 ain't easy to swallow, especially for england fans. pope's dismissal was pretty brutal though 
, i feel bad for him, he's a talented batsman. pat cummins looks like a solid leader, he seems to have his team on track. but gotta ask, what went wrong for england? did they just run out of luck or was it a case of not adapting quickly enough to the aussie attack? i'm curious to see how england will bounce back from this loss, maybe a change in strategy is in order . anyway, congrats to aussie on their series win!

I'm still trying to wrap my head around that 4-0 thrashing from Australia ! I mean, England had some great moments, but it seemed like they just couldn't get the big scores they needed. And Ollie Pope getting out for 19? That was a worrying sign for me - he's one of their top batsmen and to go out so early is a concern. 
On the other hand, I thought Australia played some really smart cricket. Pat Cummins' leadership was on point and they made some great tactical decisions throughout the series. One thing that might interest people is the updated player ratings - I saw that Jofra Archer has dropped down the rankings after a string of poor performances 
. Anyway, it's going to be an interesting Ashes in 2027... can England bounce back?
