SYDNEY : There was relief rather than celebration at the news that Australia had retained the Ashes when cricket fans Down Under woke up on Monday morning after the Manchester rain had rescued their team in the drawn fourth test.

"Despite being robbed of victory by the weather, England have only themselves to blame for being on the wrong side of history," Conn added.
