Aussies claim survival of the fittest, despite Ashes organisers' best efforts

This intensity would make it more necessary than ever to give the teams time to recuperate between matches. Instead, we have been denied the chance to see the best Australian XI and the best England XI face off in any one Test match, let alone all five. Australia never quite worked out their best line-up, while England’s was already compromised by the World Cup and restricted by injuries to James Anderson and two other leading fast bowlers.

The results for England have been ruinous. Joe Root was running on fumes since Edgbaston and, at the Oval, appeared genuinely embarrassed by the Australians’ fumbling generosity in the field. Stuart Broad stamped himself as England’s No.1 bowler and arguably the best of both sides in this series. Broad, who did not play in the World Cup, had prepared himself for an Ashes series. Meanwhile, Jofra Archer’s entire career played out in microcosm. When keen and healthy, he could destroy batting line-ups through pace, skill and intimidation.
