Forget about winning the series at the moment

Right now let's just retain the Ashes first and then I'll pass out the credits  :rollin

Raining in Manchester and forecast rain all day lmao.

Might ease off for about 1 session so it's vital these guys block the day out like Faff in Adelaide.

The Test has been abandoned. Old Trafford looks more like a pool.

Aussies retain the Ashes  :thumbsup.

Well done on retaining the Ashes  :clapping

Thank you for the rain, without it we were most likely cooked this Test match

Kudos to Marnus and Mitch !arsh who saved the game for us on Saturday

And Kudos to Cummins for being gracious in his pressers on retaining. No gloating, admitting it feels weird etc.

Must say I am enjoying the Pommies melting down on social media

Well it's their fault for losing the first two tests.

Rain is common in whingeland.

Shouldn't have declared so early in T1 etc.

Almost worth losing the next test just to give the poms something to whinge about.

Yeah not sure how i feel. Retaining the ashes by rain default vrs witnessing the best series possibly ever, i think il take the latter.

I feel we were robbed of seeing how the best series ever unfolded.

every test in this series was sensational in its own way
