England ends tour with another loss
Print Edition
England’s long and cheerless cricket tour of Australia ended with one last, resounding defeat yesterday when it was beaten by 84 runs in the third Twenty20 international.
An Ashes tour which began full of promise and optimism 100 days ago, crawled to a downbeat ending as Australia made 195-6, batting first after winning the toss, and dismissed England for 111 in 17.2 overs. The win continued Australia’s superiority over England in all forms of the game, allowing it to follow a 5-0 sweep of the Ashes test series and 4-1 win in the one-day internationals with a 3-0 rout in the Twenty20 series. In 13 matches against Australia this summer, England won only once. The England team that will leave Australia today seems a pale shadow of the one that arrived 3-1/2 months earlier, favored to win a fourth-straight Ashes series.
