England’s tailenders clung on to draw the fourth Ashes Test in Sydney and end Australia’s hopes of a 5-0 whitewash.
After thumping defeats in the first three Tests, the tourists stopped the rot in the tensest possible fashion at the SCG as number 11 James Anderson fended off the last six balls of the match.England were 270 for nine at the close, nowhere near a theoretical winning target of 388, but it restored some pride in an otherwise demoralising tour.It was then down to the tailenders to see out the final overs of the day with Jack Leach making 26 from 34 balls.
“It’s quite a bad injury, so it’s a really disappointing shame for him and for the team but it’s part and parcel of playing Test cricket, sometimes you’ve got to take these things. “And the way he stood up throughout the rest of the game having taken that and put in for the boys is testament to his character and how much he cares about playing for this team.”
Trying to make it sound like a victory that we can’t get slapped 5-0 😂. Well done for trying with this headline!
