“The feeling around it was yes, we have got away with one, but ultimately we have come here to win the Ashes and we have gone a huge way to doing that.

Mixed Emotions: Travis Head On Retaining The Ashes Urn

Speaking about retaining the Ashes, the Australian Southpaw said that they were backing themselves to do that. However, he said that as a side they would have liked to win the fourth Test and retain the urn.

“It is mixed emotions because you would love to win a Test match to retain them and hopefully this week we can win a Test match to do it. A draw is a different feeling, no matter what the situation, but there was no real massive elation because we could see the situation coming,” Head added.

Australia won the first Test in Edgbaston by two wickets. They then won the Lord’s Test by 43 runs which was another close contest. England came back to win the third Test in Headingley by three wickets with Chris Woaks playing a match-winning cameo. Rain played spoilsport on day five to end the fourth Test in a draw.
