At least Australia put up a fight in England with everything thrown at them.
England will come to Australia and offer nothing. Feeble and mentally weak

lol Root player of the series. That's hilarious
Player of the summer, not series.
Batting, yes. But Broad, Wood and Woakes pretty good bowling I recon

Don't worry about the players. They'll go home to mansions. The team lives on, the Australian team has given us a lifetime of pleasure. Better than any other country in the world.
WTF?

Its OK head, Carey and marnus will score a mountain of runs against the pakis and windies and all the ashes failures will be forgotten.

Woakes the Player of Series in my view. Don't know if a guy who didn't play two tests is allowed to get it but he changed everything for England. Anderson being toothless was negated by Woakes delivering.

No and I certainly wasn't singling you or anyone out. There's been quite a few posters from my reading who've been pretty keen to regard this test as a dead rubber when England's been on top, because "We've done our job" by retaining.
It was a huge match for us and we had several golden opportunities to seize it and WIN an away Ashes for the first time in over 20 years. We've failed and - while it sure beats a series loss - the Australian team and supporters should be very disappointed with the result.
They haven’t been beaten in England in a series since 2015.
England haven’t won Ashes for 8 years and will be 10 when they come down under.
It is what it is but it isn’t gloom and doom

Yeah I just wanted some more decorations for our heroes.
The flood gates were always at risk of opening. Sadly Aust always lose wickets in clumps. Every win/loss was close....the draw who knows what might of happened there....logic suggests an Eng win, but going on the ups and downs from each side, it is all guess work.
Carey lost his way after Lord's, the crowds and media focus obviously got to him.....Murphy is definitely ready n waiting for Lyons spot. The only real find to come out of this tour for Aust.
Be interested to see if some heat will be directed at Bailey et al.....Woakes was a godsend for Eng....Neser is like for like as a bowler/batter, yet sat on the pine throughout. Questions need to be asked of Neser's non selection.

It’s still pretty awesome hearing England claim moral wins and series victories.
Results, not participation trophies.
**** them all.

The players will be - and should be - fuming about this behind closed doors.

Ultimately they played to win the series, we played not too lose. Somehow in a draw it feels like they were more successful
