England beat Australia by 135 runs in the fifth and final Test of Ashes 2019 to tie the five-match Test series 2-2. England, who came to London슬롯사이트s Oval 1-2 down in the Ashes 2019 and having already lost the Ashes Urn, put up their best team performance and when Jack Leach 슬롯사이트 who took 4/49 in the second innings 슬롯사이트 had Australia슬롯사이트s final two batsmen caught by England skipper Joe Root at slip, the home team had scripted a famous comeback to draw Ashes 2019. Fans have also been treated to some scintillating cricket throughout the series and didn슬롯사이트t forget to thank both teams and reserved special praise for Steve Smith but rued as the rules, which indicated that despite a series tie, Australia would retain the urn and take it home.
Smith, who has been the standout player among both teams, scored an astonishing 774 runs in just seven innings of Ashes 2019. The 30-year-old right-handed batsman has smashed and created new records, including a 49-year-old record set by the great Sunil Gavaskar, every time he has stepped out to bat in Ashes 2019 also received enormous praise for his contribution of helping Australia retain the famous urn.
Fair Scoreline Says, Jason Gillespie
Great effort by chasing that total. Congratulations on levelling the series. Australia retain the Ashes however I feel 2-2 is a fair score line from the Test Cricket we have witnessed.

Maybe Heard It 3 Months Ago Sounds Correct
So they play for two months, the whole thing is tied but one team takes home the trophy? Heard that story before!

Let Them Explain It
So England won the Test, didn't lose the series, yet lost the Ashes. I'm not explaining this to cricket newbies. You do it

Thanks for the Entertainment
England have to be very thankful to Ben Stokes,Jofra Archer and a couple of lucky events to ensure they had a memorable summer. They were so close to not winning anything. Thanks for the entertainment.

Marnus Labuchagne is a Star
Well played Marnus Labuschagne ... 353 runs at 50.4 for the series ... injected into the series halfway through the second Test in unusual circumstances ... assured and measured ... will certainly start the AUS summer in the pivotal number three spot 👏 🏏

774 - Sunil Gavaskar in 1971 (debut!)
774 - Steve Smith in 2019
769 - Steve Smith in 2014/15
752 - Graham Gooch in 1990 (in 3 Tests!)

Australia won the first Test by 251 runs to take a 1-0 lead but England, helped with a superhuman effort from Ben Stokes, levelled the Test series in the third game at Headingley after the second game had ended in a draw. Australia then inspired by Steve Smith's Test return powered to another victory in the fourth Test and in the process retained the urn. The Ashes 2019 Test series, however, ended in a draw.
