00:00 Well, it's a great day to be an England fan here at the Oval in London.
00:05 The host managed to win the final test of the Ashes by 49 runs.
00:10 When this match was called for England, you should have heard this stadium absolutely
00:14 erupted.
00:15 But as you talk to the fans who are coming out of these gates, certainly England is very
00:19 happy about winning this test, but there's a lot of smug Aussies as well who know that
00:24 they are holding on to the Ashes' earn.
00:26 Disappointing, but England played the better cricket that match in the last couple of tests.
00:31 But two is probably a fair result, but we're happy to have the Ashes.
00:35 Would have been nice to win the series, but England probably have the upper hand.
00:40 Means nothing to retention.
00:41 How about yourself?
00:42 Yeah, it's only been a couple of years.
00:45 I think we were the better team over the series.
00:50 Thanks to Oz for coming down.
00:51 A little bit of rain helped us.
00:54 But yeah, love you Aussies.
00:55 Love you all.
00:56 Fair result though.
00:57 Good series.
00:58 Let's see how things go in 18 months time, shall we?
01:04 Rain suspended play after lunch and the tourists needed to dig deep to claim what would have
01:08 been the first series win in England since 2001.
01:12 The final wicket was taken by retiring English veteran Stuart Broad in what was described
01:17 as a star finish to his career.
01:20 But wasn't to be for Australia with the visitors losing four wickets for 11 runs during a catastrophic
01:25 19 ball collapse.
01:27 Now England fans here have already put the Aussies on notice for next time.
