  1. Yep. Mitch Marsh even joked that most of Australia hates him in his news conference last night.

    But the all-rounder surely won over plenty of the Aussie public with a sterling performance yesterday, finding prodigious swing when others could not to take 4-35 in good batting conditions.

    Amy Lofthouse has the story of England's unlikely conqueror on day one of the final Ashes Test at the Oval.

  2. "Dad, tell us the story of English cricket in the summer of 2019."

    "Well kids, England won their first men's World Cup on boundaries after a tied match and a tied super over."

    "Brilliant."

    "Ellyse Perry tore through England as Australia eased to the women's Ashes."

    "Sounds right."

    "Jack Leach made 92 as a nightwatchman to bail England out against Ireland."

    "Fantastic."

    "Ben Stokes hit one of the best Test centuries ever to guide England to a ridiculous one-wicket win at Headingley after they were bowled out for just 67 in the first innings."

    "Amazing."

    "And then Mitch Marsh took four wickets on a flat deck at The Oval."

    "No. Don't believe that one."
