"When you want to make a good first impression, start with a good last impression." 👍 England's determination was admirable, but sometimes it's not enough to overcome the opponent's superiority. Australia showed why they're one of the top teams in international cricket. 🏆
 
just watched the highlights of that aussie vs england cricket match 🏏👀 and gotta say australia looked pretty dominant on the field... their bowlers just seemed to be getting more accurate and England's batsmen were having a tough time dealing with it 🤔 i mean, 342 runs is nothing compared to what aussies scored so yeah no surprise they won 4-1 🙌
 
Australia is just so overpowered right now 🤦‍♂️ they're like cricket robots or something... England's team is just not on the same level as them yet. I mean, come on, 4-1? That's a huge gap to bridge. They must've given up after the first day or two of that last test 🙄. Australia's pace attack is just too strong for anyone else.
