#OnTheUp: Memorable English summer comes to an end
England sealed a 135-run win over Australia in the final Test at The Oval to tie the series, but Australia retained the urn, which they won in 2017-18 at home. This was the first time in 47 years that an Ashes series was drawn. Both teams found something to celebrate.
Nothing to separate the sides after an incredible series 🤝

This is what it’s all about. The cut and thrust of Ashes cricket. Let’s just have a beer and reminisce. Why cricket is the best! #ashes #sport #summerof19 pic.twitter.com/Bpl5FEEG7E

England head coach Trevor Bayliss bid goodbye to his role with the team, and there couldn't have been a better way to do it.
🗣 “The friendships I hope I’ve got for the rest of my life. It’s been a fantastic experience. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The cricket has been an absolute bonus”

29 wickets and 774 runs in the 2019 Ashes one picture! How good were the No.1-ranked MRF Tyres ICC Test bowler and batsman were throughout the series?

In the West Indies, Australia's women's team have been crushingly dominant, and are yet to lose a game on tour. Skipper Meg Lanning has been among the runs, but it's not been all smooth sailing for her.
Poor old Meg Lanning has been having an absolute nightmare at the toss! 😂😂😂

The Pandya brothers had a face-off in the nets.
Andre Russell took a blow to the head during a CPL game, but his week got better with some good news!
This will definitely bring back childhood memories. Been there, done that!

He can write prize-winning Broadway musicals. But cricket? Lin-Manuel Miranda is not throwing away his shot!
While visiting a friend in London, a local youth invited me to join the kids for cricket.

Me: Sorry, I don’t know the rules, I’m American.
Youth: Don’t worry, I have faith that you can learn, EVEN THOUGH you’re American.
