Following the conclusion of the wonderful Ashes 2023 series, where England came from 2-0 to level up the series at the Kennington Oval, former India opener Wasim Jaffer has appreciated Australian and England teams for producing a wonderful series with intense battles across Ashes 2023. He posted a funny video while sharing his thoughts on the Ashes
The five-match series ended in a draw after both teams won two games each. England dominated Australia in the fourth Test in Manchester, which was rained out and once again, won crucial moments at the Oval to draw level the series.
However, Australia still retained the urn. They were criticised by fans for whether the aggressive approach, 'Bazball,' would work against the World Test Champions Australia.
Here's Wasim Jaffer's video
Congratulations to Australia and England on a fantastic series 👏🏻👏🏻 I guess the lesson here is there's no one way to play cricket. As long as you get the job done. #Ashes pic.twitter.com/mVEeqz60mv

Congratulations to Australia and England on a fantastic series: Wasim Jaffer
Speaking about the Ashes 2023, Jaffer mentioned that there is no single correct way to play cricket. On his official Twitter handle, he wrote, "Congratulations to Australia and England on a fantastic series I guess the lesson here is there's no one way to play cricket. As long as you get the job done. #Ashes"
Ben Stokes, meanwhile, said, "Actually
Australia began the final day at 135/0, requiring 249 more runs to win the Test and the series 3-1. But amidst controversy over the changed ball on the previous day, they lost three wickets in the opening session to be 238/3 at lunch. The afternoon session was rained off, and when play resumed post tea, Chris Woakes, who picked up 4/50 and Moeen Ali 3/76, affected a stunning collapse to leave Australia tottering at 294/8.
It was nothing less than a fairytale ending for Stuart Broad's career. He is the only person to hit six on the last ball he faced and picked up the last wicket in the last ball he bowled in a Test match.
