I mean, I saw a figure was about 860,000 throughout the Ashes.
If you'd got...
Five days at Melbourne and Perth, it had been well over a million.
So when you've had such a high-profile series, you want to end well.
And you're right, it was fitting.
Stark got the final wickets and Carey got the winning runs as well because his contribution with the bat and with the glove, standing up to the likes of Boland and Nisa and the catches he took, standing back.
It's not easy.
You know, he's come in at number six as well.
He's not...
coming in at seven like some keepers do.
So I thought he was outstanding.
England, I thought throughout the Ashes, they were playing catch-up cricket.
You know, spinning there, if they got another 50 runs, if they played a frontline spinner, if they got more than 380 in their first innings, I think that's where the game was lost.
Ben Stokes, at the presentation, spoke about 100 more.
They batted better in the first innings, and those two shots from Brook and then Jamie Smith,
And then obviously yesterday, the shot from Will Jacks.
There were shots that really cost England.
And I think that's been the story of the Ashes.
And obviously the new ball burst.
Who would you have given the new ball to today when Australia went about chasing 160?
