Series drawn - AUS retain the Ashes
The new faces of Ireland and Afghanistan (at least prior to the collapse of their government) to test playing status were really great to see. I’d love to see us play some tests against Ireland at some point.
I don’t care much for T20, but at the ODI level and looking briefly at T20 stats I love seeing the continuing improvement of the Netherlands and Scotland. Namibia and Kenya are somewhat less established teams but I’d love to see them able to put together solid teams more consistently too.
@Zagorath ODI is actually my least favorite code. Still had the 8 hour game that no one has time to actually watch, without the drama of Test/A-Class matches because of the "power play"
I actually don't care much for ODIs in general either. The one exception to that is the World Cup, where I think ODIs are the perfect fit.
