All language subtitles for The Test A New Era For Australias Team S01E08 (The Test A New Era For Australias Team S01E08) (ENGLISH)

What I want you to keep thinking about,
not just for this test match, but every

time you play for Australia,
remember who you're representing.

Not just representing us, you're
representing the whole country.

When you get to that moment, when you're
thinking it's getting a bit hard here,

I want you to think
of a few other things.

Not just the country, I want you
to think about your mum and dad.

I want you to think about
your brothers or your sisters.

I want you to think
about your own little kids.

Kids, why don't you think about your
mates, because that moment when the

pressure comes on, that's when
the steel's going to come, okay?

When you've got that
steel, you'll be okay.

Think of who
you're representing.

Smudge.

So today I had a proper catch up
with him when we got here to Leeds.

He was feeling a bit
better this morning, he said

he was actually feeling
much better this afternoon.

So symptom-wise,
he's feeling good.

Coach, you often ask
me, what's your gut feel?

And I occasionally
give you an answer.

Most of the time I sit on
the fence and go, oh, it

could be this, it could
be this, we'll wait and see.

My thoughts were pretty clear,
I'm up to thinking about it sometime.

I don't think Steve Smith
should play the next test.

I don't think it would be
the right thing to do for him.

I don't think we have enough
time to prepare him properly.

I don't see how he could be in
the right state to play and perform.

I was kind of like, oh, well, what if I
make like a quick recovery and I'm okay?

You know, as the time sort of went
on, I still wasn't feeling any better.

The likelihood was that I
was going to get ruled out.

Doc and I just had a
conversation and we

just said, I wasn't
ready to go out and play.

The doc didn't think I was
ready to go out and play.

And I think the right
decision was made.

If Steve Smith saying,
oh, I'm not feeling too good.

Someone who loves batting more than
anyone I know, you'd probably respect that.

I'd rather rather than
going around in circles and

no no, okay, decision made
and now I gotta move on.

Well boys, first thing, Smudge is
out of this Test bad luck Smudgey.

We saw how brutal
it was the other day.

So Smudge is out of
this test, decision's made.

There's obviously going to
be some changes because of it.

That's okay.

We talked from day
one, squad mentality.

Be ready.

Be ready.

Be ready.

Shit's going to happen.

And let's think about how you're
going to help us win this test match.

Nothing else.

We knew he wasn't
going to be right.

Obviously, from the
team point of view, what?

No smudge.

Someone's going
to have to step up.

So lucky we've got great
teams behind us now.

We've got great data
analysts back home.

We had a lot of people
behind the scenes doing a lot

of the research and the
planning and the preparation.

We actually employed
a mathematician.

What we've got here
to start off with is all the

information from test
matches in England since 2009.

Our data team had come
together and looked at, you

know, what had we done
over the last five to ten years?

How do you get a
wicket in England?

You know, what's
the best time to bowl?

You know, what works in England?

What didn't work in England?

The data showed you at the
top of off with occasional bouncer.

And here's the length
that we need to bowl.

If you can start with six metres
as your key point, so you're not...

searching for it, we're going to hit six
and then we're going to adjust from there.

You know, one of the things we really
looked at is just that six metre length.

Let's own that.

Let's just own that first stop.

And then after that,
we start to adjust.

We knew if we could
suffocate England's batting, that

would give us the best
chance of winning the Ashes.

Is this a change of philosophy?

A little bit, yes.

Because a big
part of it over here is

particularly in the
Nation's Series in England.

We've come over here
and tried to swing the ball.

You get off to a flyer,
it's hard to put the bat in.

Rather than get it in that six to eight
to start and be able to adjust from there.

And as long as we're all really clear
and we know what we're doing, perfect.

To have all the fast bowlers
ready, that was pretty special.

And it just looked like a bit of a
perfect storm was about to happen.

Day one, perfect
bowling conditions.

Bloomy, real low cloud.

Cloudy skies still and that's
why Joe Root looked up

and decided when he won
the toss, we will have a bowl.

They won the toss and
sent us in and it was dark.

So dark.

Usually at Headingley, it
just does a bit when it's cloudy.

It was rather like an
old-fashioned Headingley.

Bantam's nightmare.

I mean that ball was just
going all over the place.

That is unplayable.

So the first innings at
Headingley is the sum of all fears.

Smith is not there and
the batting collapses.

He's not there
and there's no one.

There's no one to make good.

What a fight back from England.

We knew that we
were behind the game.

You're not going to win
many test matches when

you're getting bowled
out for 180 on day one.

There's some very
poor last session.

Shit happens.

Let's make sure tomorrow
night we're sitting in this

change room and we're still
feeling better than we are now.

They're going to bat last.

Let's make sure they're chasing
plenty for us to win the test match, okay?

Let's go.

All right, let's go.

Turned up the next
morning and it is...

Bright sunshine.

And you think, oh, here we go.

This is great.

So different to yesterday.

Ideal batting conditions.

Josh Hazelwood will be sharing
this new ball with Cummins.

JL actually pulled us aside in warm-up,
the three of us, and said, I've been

waiting for this moment
since I became coach.

The three boys together kind of
remind us, you know, we've been

eight or nine years now and we
haven't played a game together.

I remember Smithy
saying it and I sort of...

I was already
thinking a little bit.

He goes, oh, a bit less movement
today, they'll nick them all.

EDGE's timed on.

So, Joe Ruth departs
without troubling the scorers.

It's ten for two.

That's the La Language batting.

England, 3 down You're making
509 Australia at the moment.

Sitting on your couch in front of
your fire or at pub with your mates,

how is he going 3 for 20.

LAUGHTER It was
just consistently 2.'3.

Instant pressure.

We just did not let them get a boundary
here or there, we just stayed very patient.

Beautifully bowled
by Josh Hazelwood.

There was no loose
balls, like not one.

This is superb fast bowling.

James Pattinson
comes into the attack.

Edged and gone.

And England reeling at 34 for 4.

Another single figure
dismissal for England.

This is turmoil.

Probably the best couple
of hours I've bowled

as a bowling group
my whole test career.

It's another one.

Good partnership bowling.

Everything just went our way and
Davey took four magnificent catches.

It was one of those things
where everything just stuck.

And it was just finally, sitting there
going, we've finally got one of those days.

Australia are on fire.

What a cataclysmic
collapse that was.

Patrick Cummins.

There's the glove.

There is glove.

54 for 7.

Here's Hazelwood.

Gone.

Brilliant.

And England's woes continue.

56 for 8.

Only one man in double figures.

That ain't good if
you're an England fan.

That lunch time, we did a very
serious discussion on the radio about,

we have just witnessed
possibly the beginning

of the end of test
cricket in this country.

And Australia have
bowled England out for 67.

Outstanding, Josh Hazelwood.

5 for 30.

It's England's lowest score
against Australia since 1948.

The deficit on
first innings is 112.

That's test cricket.

It's just one of
those days, isn't it?

APPLAUSE

Stamps just finishes things off.

But the final figures of this
Australian second innings.

Bowled out for 246.

The honest assessment
of the situation is this.

The odds are... almost
100% in favour of Australia.

England have chased 359.

A batting line-up
that's just made 67.

It's preposterous to
think that it might happen.

Of all England's highest successful
run chases in history, the highest is 332.

What an opportunity for
us to retain the Ashes then.

England are up a
creek without a paddle.

It's the moment.

Seize the day, son.

And again, it's David Warner.

Rory Burns, the first to
go in the second innings.

Absolute beauty
from Pat Cummins.

Has that come off the glove?

He's been given.

It's now three down.

141 for three.

The biggest cheers of the day greeted
the arrival of Ben Stokes at the crease.

I want something
special from him here.

Come on, boys.

Come on.

Stokes, straight up.

You'll have to start against
Lyon, which won't be easy.

Come on, lads.

Two more tonight, eh?

Keep this pressure on.

We'll get two
more tonight, boys.

New ball in the morning.

Come on.

Perfect, Gaza.

There was no way.

Australia were not
going to win that match.

Stokes has one ball to survive.

England were going to lose
and the Ashes would be gone.

203 England need.

Seven wickets Australia need.

Opportunities don't come
around in life like that very often.

I was nervous because he's
still going to get the job done.

I'm not a good
watcher of cricket.

I don't like to not be able to go out
and help or being able to do something.

So I was struggling,
particularly that last day.

Come on, Kerry.

It's a trap.

Oh, what a catch that is.

You're the champion.

When Joe Root goes,
there's the collective exhale.

We've got that wicket.

Now just to methodically
work through the rest.

The only way for England to stay
in the series is to score these runs.

198 required.

Beautiful shot.

Full face and punched down
the ground from Bairstow.

That was for Stokes.

His first boundary.

The roar that came
up here at Leeds.

They want a hero.

Will it be that man, Ben Stokes?

Got to get Stokes there.

First signs of naked
aggression from Ben Stokes.

Momentum is definitely starting
to shift in England's favour here.

This Australian bowling group
has got to do something about it.

Partnership of 86 between Stokes
and Bairstow has been broken.

It's only Bairstow
and he's gone.

245 for five.

Isn't he a star?

There it is.

Come on!

Trouble

brilliant from Travis
Head at mid-wicket.

Butlers failed to
make his ground.

Messing him was a stint.

England six down.

Top edge.

Man there.

Weston Terrace behind him.

286 for eight.

Stop!

If it's the boot, it's out.

286 for nine.

Delight for Australia.

They're one wicket away
from retaining the Ashes.

Well, I'm...

I turn you alive in the Ashes.

The last man is Jack Leach.

England's still 73 away.

This is the man, Noel, who stands between
Australia and Noel's certain victory.

Ben Stokes.

70 or 80 runs.

They're going to hit one up.

We're going to
get a wicket here.

He's hit it sweetly.

He's closer to doing
something stupid.

62 runs away.

England.

One wicket for the Australians.

Pressure is the biggest
man in the game.

Don't worry about Ben Stokes.

The biggest man on
the ground is pressure.

Better keep a clear
mind here, Tim Payne.

It's the last ball.

Yeah.

It's all in.

This is where Tim Payne, I
would have thought, would

have brought the field
up with only one ball left.

So there's no single.

You have to.

Bring everyone in, surely.

It's a four, so what?

You've got a guy out there who can bat and
you've got a guy out there who can't bat.

On the last ball of the over, they
had to stop Stokes getting off the strike.

He does get the single.

No!

Stokes keeps the strike.

Well, you want to bowl as many
overs as you can to the number 11.

I would have rather
Ben Stokes hit a six that

ball and we still get
six balls at Leitch.

There wasn't really
any pace or bounce.

If you're just a little bit off,
he's going to put it away.

How can I bowl where
he doesn't want it?

33 now required for England.

The Aussies, they're gone.

They're scrambled.

Whereas Stokes, clinical.

Slow ball.

Dragged to the next side.

Dragged to the boundary.

100 for Ben Stokes.

The whole of Headingley, the
whole of England rise to Ben Stokes.

Fielding on the boundary, you just
thought, you know, he's going to hit one

up in the air eventually here
and we're going to win the game.

Up in the air.

That's all the way, isn't it?

It is all the way.

Everything was
sort of going his way.

Like, he's going to hit one
down someone's throat, surely.

Touch-ins.

Catch him, help him.

Doesn't carry.

It landed right in the
middle of my hand.

Then I hit the ground,
it went straight out.

In a split second, you're going,
I've just dropped the hashes.

That's the worst
feeling I've ever had.

The hashes are on the line right
here and right now for both these teams.

Don't forget the reviews.

One left for England,
one left for Australia.

No, pitched outside leg.

Pitched outside leg.

I knew that a pitch outside,
the painting was a bit like, oh.

You'd be kicking yourself, even
if it was a one percent chance.

They're going to use the review.

No way in the
world could it be out.

Go to the ball tracking.

Chris, no batting all.

Pitch outside the leg.

Ludus, Tim Tain, turn two.

He's going to turn
to Nathan Lyon.

He does.

It's down the ground.

Mid-off is there.

It's long enough.

It's six.

One to tie.

Two to win.

It's not over till it's over.

The hardest thing in the
world is hitting the winning run.

Rehearsal sweep.

They run.

They're hitting on some suckers.

What have we just
witnessed there?

I was absolutely gutted,
thinking I'd lost the Ashes.

But I knew I
couldn't dwell on it.

I had to get up to
bowl his last ball.

And at the top of my
mind, Mark, I'm thinking,

OK, what type of shot
is he likely to play?

What type of shot
do I want him to play?

How am I going to
get him to play that shot

that comes back down to
me bowling my best ball?

Oh, now.

Now everyone looks.

They needed that review.

Did it straighten enough?

Did it straighten enough?

It did straighten enough.

There was no way in the world that that
Pat Cummins one could possibly be out.

They burnt that one, and
it's costing the Test match.

It's

one of the best
innings I've ever seen.

His team was gone.

They were down and out.

They were buried.

The Australians will be gutted.

It is as difficult a loss to swallow as
Australian sport has seen in a generation.

Well, I'll go and do media now,
boys, but I just want to say, fuck,

that's kind of fucking hurt a lot, no
doubt, for the next couple of days.

However, as I said to a few out
there, we've still got two Test matches.

So let this fucking sting.

We had our chances to win
that game and we fucked it up.

Shit happens.

We can talk about
that another time.

We've got two Test matches.

We've got a bit of time off.

Let's take time, stick together, keep
knowing that the process we've got in

place to beat these
blokes is going to work.

So it's not game over.

It's not toys out of the cot.

It's a game of cricket.

Shit fucking happens.

Yeah, it was fucking
important and we wanted it.

We should have fucking won it.

Let's move on and start getting our head
around winning the next two fucking Tests.

Yeah, it's disappointing.

Yeah, that one hurt a lot.

It still does.

It doesn't sit very well.

I remember getting
back to my hotel room.

I didn't know what to do.

I just felt like a physical,
emotional wreck.

I was on FaceTime to my wife and
she goes, what's that in your hand?

I said, oh, it's a scotch.

She goes, what?

She goes, scotch?

You don't drink scotch?

I go, I do tonight, baby.

I was like, I felt sick then.

I was just sitting in my room by myself
and I'm just going, oh, I'll go to sleep.

Did not sleep.

And that's when I realised,
we've got to do something about it.

I texted Dean Hills.

I said, mate, can you
set up the last partnership

between Leach and
Stokes in the boardroom?

He goes, yeah, I can do that.

Go to sleep, boys, please.

Go to sleep.

I'm not going to sleep.

Shut up.

He says, told me
what the truth is.

This could easily break us.

He does whatever else the whole rest of the
world will be saying, but it's our choice.

That's what we're going to do.

We're going to watch what
happened yesterday and before

us for no other reason
except we're going to learn.

That's going to give us the shits watching
it, but we're going to learn from it.

We're going to shake
ourselves off and we're going

to get up to be ready
for the next test match.

I wasn't overly impressed
with going there, Yeah,

re-watching that last
15 overs is what it was.

I already did that in my
head over and over and over.

I didn't need to do it again.

62 runs away, England.

Unbelievable shot
from Dan Stokes.

Downside leg,
pitched outside leg.

Is that the referral?

Not a review.

They're going to use the review.

No way in the
world could it be out.

Not the same, but up a
shanty, up a shanty, up a shanty.

I'm so hyped.

Hard to watch, hard to
watch, but it is what it is.

The only thing I will say, there is an
opportunity in my opinion with 71 to go.

Last ball of the over.

If we're reading the play, there is
no way there can be a run there.

We've got six
balls at leech right.

I've got to squeeze
them, squeeze in on them.

We can't give an
easy run like that.

If you wanted to sweep
from wide out of rough, we

thought it was actually
a chance to get him out.

Were our plans clear enough
to Stokes, do you reckon?

No, we could have
changed the fields.

We could have
bowled more bounces.

We had blokes coming on
the same bowl, style balls,

half bowling, three style
balls, even for three sixes.

So 100% we can do
things slightly differently.

We didn't panic.

We didn't shit ourselves.

We tried our best.

We had a crack.

The bloke had a day out.

Yeah, absolutely, I've
been awake all night.

I would have changed
the field a hundred times.

I think we all would have.

But we didn't.

The question is, if we're under
that pressure, we know that.

Were we really clear
on what the plan was?

The plans were clear.

Panty came up and started over.

Said, let's try
some style balls.

And tried to go wide.

Probably wasn't wide
enough on occasions.

And I tried the yorker.

Just missed.

He's faced 220 balls by now.

And we've got
Leach who's come in.

He won't have six
balls at Leach, surely.

The opportunity missed there
is that we let him have a single.

That's just intent.

That's just game awareness,
which we all talk about.

Yeah.

I was sort of on and on.

If we get one or two at Leach,
I'm going to hit him on the toe.

I'll get some love.

But the percentage play will
now be to bring the field up.

Balls, five and six.

We should have had the field
up when we had six or seven.

It's plain and
simple to see now.

Got it wrong.

No one wants to ever have
that feeling again that you had

yesterday or last night
when you're lying in your bed.

We're going to stay together.

We're going to stick together.

We're going to
work hard together.

We're going to get ready
together to be ready for

Old Trafford together to
win the fourth Test match.

OK?

After it, Paine says to me, I
found that really confronting

because I had to admit
that I made some mistakes.

And I said, it's not a weakness,
mate, that's a strength because we're all

human and it's good to admit weakness
or vulnerability in front of your mates

because then they'll go, oh, yeah,
OK, we actually did make some mistakes.

We're going to
make some mistakes.

Usually on the National
Tour, we have five

guys go away and have
a rest and go to London.

I said, you know, everyone's
going to Derbyshire.

We're all going together.

It was a hard time and I think initially
it probably annoyed a few blokes,

but he was adamant, no, we're
going to stay together as a team.

It was the first time that this group had
come back together and been tested again.

When you're under pressure, you need,
whether it's in life or it's on a cricket

field, you need to have your friends
or your family to help you through it.

Guys, we're just going to
introduce ourselves to the morning.

It's a great opportunity to bring
some connection to your breathing.

The reason we're all together is because
for the next three weeks, we're going to

have to stick together big time if
we're going to win the Ashes, right?

OK?

Today, we're just going to have a go at a
touch footy, run around, have a sweat up,

ready for tomorrow.

OK?

It gave us the time to actually
relax and not think about cricket.

Start a bit sluggishly, and then within
sort of two or three minutes, there's a

bit of stick flying around
and it gets competitive.

Nathan Lyon sprained his
ankle playing touch footy.

That's OK.

It was competitive instinct.

We needed to get
that fight back in.

Otherwise, like I
say, series over.

Paine was really good at just
making sure everyone stuck together.

We thought, let's
get everyone there.

Let's have a really
relaxed week.

One thing I know is about teams.

We do things together
and it has a big impact.

It was one of our
early meetings.

Mitch Marsh just stood
up in front of the boys.

He just said, every
morning of this tour, I'm

going to be walking
and we'll get a coffee.

On a tour like this, I know
there's going to be times

where we're all feeling
pressure or feeling a bit down.

It's at home.

And if some guys want to
join me at any time, I'll be there.

I just wanted to get the ball rolling
about having care for your mates and

looking after
each other on tour.

And it just sort of grew.

And I was like, wow,
this is actually pretty cool.

All those little things
are so important.

What happens is you
build camaraderie together.

You can't fake it.

You've got to
build it over time.

When the pressure comes on, it's like
the glue that keeps everything together.

What happened next
was also really important.

Tell me how we're
going to do in Derbyshire.

We're going to
win in Derbyshire.

We're not going to play as
a three-day practice game.

We are going to get back into
the attitude of winning this game.

From where we were probably a
week earlier, it was a different group.

And we beat them in
two days and an hour.

We've worked hard for 12
months, boys, to win the prize.

We won a test match
off, retaining the Ashes.

But they're not
going to give it to us.

We saw that last week.

They're not going
to give it to you.

You're not going to get
great prizes in your life.

You're not going to
just get it given to you.

It's not how life works.

If you really want it, and it sounds
like a cliché, but I truly believe this,

the team who wants it
more will win this Ashes.

And only you guys
can answer that.

Australia had Steve Smith back.

If there's any possible counter
to Ben Stokes, it is Steve Smith.

Get your bedstops, guys.

Get your bedstops now.

Two for 15 pounds,
eight pounds each now.

Get your Ben Stokes scarves.

This is the fourth test match and
the teams are locked in at one each.

There will be some scars,
whatever debrief you've done.

At some stage, Australia will
think, crikey, we had that opportunity.

And that's the key for England.

If they start well here, some of those
lads in the Australian dressing room will

be walking away thinking, crikey,
heading is hurting that a little bit more.

I know this week, since
this happened, I know

it's been the best
coaching week of my life.

Because I knew we were going to lift
or we'd get flat and let them seamroll us.

And it's been awesome.

How you come out from
adversity is what really counts.

Absolutely, mate.

Two colours come out.

Absolutely, mate.

Got to keep an eye on Payne.

He actually had a word with me.

I said to him last night, make sure you
wake up tomorrow morning or I promise

you're going to have that
much fun no matter what.

The game's hard enough without
carrying the world on your shoulders.

What a series we're
witnessing at the moment.

Ashes, one all, nothing like it.

There's so many battles.

This is one of them.

Terrace has got to go.

Australian out 28 for two.

Here he is, the man back
into the Australian team.

Stephen Smith makes his way
out to the middle of Old Trafford.

Australia in trouble.

Once again, Australia going to need
something very special from him today.

Both Archer and Steve Smith no doubt
have been thinking about this battle.

It's got to be in the back
of your mind, though,

having taken a blow
like that from Archer.

I did read a lot of the
reports after that game.

People saying that Archer had had the
wood on me and actually said in the media,

yeah, he hit me,
but didn't get me out.

Great contest.

Archer fired up.

Smith, an absolutely
immovable force.

I was like, I just
need to do this.

I need to do more just to
kind of prove people wrong.

I like doing that.

Full, wide and driven for four.

All four more, cluttered.

Well, we've got two eccentrics
at the crease right now.

Should be fun.

I was waiting to bat with him.

You know, it was an
exciting moment to Yodo.

Well, here we go,
let's get in the contest.

Nicely played.

James, it's all well,
Stephen Smith.

Lovashane moves on
to another half century.

Australia's two best batsmen
in the middle at the moment.

Lovashane's been
outstanding in this series.

Smith has got centre
stage in his ashes.

But, minus the revelation
of this series, this

is the batsman that
Australia's been looking for.

115 runs, the partnership, putting
Australia in a pretty strong position.

Lovashane goes for 67.

Australia at 173.

Day two at Old
Trafford, the series tied.

One all with two to play.

Well, the Australian captain
comes in at number seven.

Hasn't got really any score of note in this
series so far, but Australia need him now.

So much talk about
Payne, his batting.

I know how good a batter he is.

I think he just thinks
too much about it.

He tries too hard.

Batting with Steve
Smith, who's on 91.

Good time for him
to get some here.

225 for five.

We knew we needed to get 400,
so it's just important to go with him.

Well, he's found a way through.

This time he does find the gap.

Payne moves into double figures.

That'll boost his confidence.

Good shot.

This man is incredible.

Yet another 100 for Steve Smith.

I could sense how frustrated they were
getting because they couldn't get him out.

What would happen then is they'd get me
on strike and they'd probably over-attack.

Nice shot.

And to bat with
him was pleasing.

It was what was
needed to be done.

Gets to 50, the Australian captain,
his first half century for 11 test matches.

The former captain and
the present captain have

led Australia into a very
commanding position.

Rich to slip.

Head straight to Stokes.

And finally they have their man.

He's going to check that.

No way.

That looks like a
no ball to me, that.

Seriously.

That is literally
a magic moment.

Who would have thought?

Nicely played, that.

That's another boundary.

Steve Smith makes up for missing
the last test by a double century.

A world-class player.

Butting.

Being able to come
out and do that and just

switch back on to beast
mode was incredible.

Australia had to put a
stamp back on England.

And that was the
punch in the nose.

It's for all that England
had working for them.

They had no clue how
to get Steve Smith out.

Call him in.

So Tim Payne makes the gesture
that declares this innings closed on 497.

For eight.

Great work, lads.

England have had a tough day.

England 3-0-1.

Australia with a
lead of 196 runs.

Something of a fightback
from England in the first innings.

But it wasn't enough.

Very powerful from Smith.

Beautiful hands
through the ball.

He's doing it again.

And when Australia get
to 686, Tim Payne calls.

He's a side in.

A surprise declaration.

Tim Payne, spur of the moment,
has said, right, that's enough.

186 to 6.

The lead is 382.

And after the drama of Headingley,
where they saw a chance for victory

snatched away by the
brilliance of Ben Stokes.

And we're posing the question,
can lightning strike twice?

The worst possible
start for England.

This is where we
win the Test match.

You know, I wasn't
able to do it last game.

Here I feel I'm more in
control of what I'm trying to do.

This is Pat Cummins.

This is Australia.

Absolutely at their best.

And the England captain is gone.

First ball.

It's not for two.

To get two early wickets was
just like, all right, we're on our way.

The job's not done yet.

We still have
eight wickets to get.

But let's just stay
nice and patient.

Stay calm.

We talk about it.

Let's make sure we do it.

If you're tired or struggling as a
fielder, or if the bowling and you're

tired and sore, think about when we
were sitting in that change room last week.

Push through it.

The crowd now on his feet.

The salute is for none
other than Ben Stokes.

Brings a tingle to the
spine, doesn't it for us?

To get a welcome like that.

Watch this good wicket.

He's out of it.

And Ben Stokes is walking.

That is a massive
wicket for Australia.

Just six more wickets
to retain the Ashes.

Yeah, we're still
pretty confident.

We knew the wicket
was starting to wear.

We had footmarks either side because of
my big hoofs through the middle for Gazza.

Then it was going about our
work and not trying to overdo it.

We had plenty of time.

Close.

On the angle.

The finger goes out.

You can see what it means
to this Australian team.

Overs left, 41.

Australia need four wickets.

Gaz,

stay nice and calm.

Gaz, when you're
bowling out into that...

You look like you're going
to get a wicket every ball out.

Gaz, you're the best
bowler in the world.

Stay calm, all right?

Just get Gaz up.

Bon Jovi up singing
the song for us, eh?

And let's take the
Ashes home, eh?

Come on, boys.

Everyone up.

Let's go.

Let's be up.

Everyone up.

Well,

we don't deserve this.

No such thing, Dave.

I earned the right.

However you deserve
success, Dave.

Leeds comes in at 10.

173 for eight.

29 overs are left.

He's got a defence
and he's got character.

It's all about time.

Plenty of overs left,
but time is ticking away.

The lights are on.

It's getting a little darker.

Well, Australia is so close at
Edingley and they are so close here.

Another block.

Another over goes by.

21 left.

194 for eight.

England, hang it on.

I just need to drop off a little
bit too now and I'll be so tired.

Those gloves out the way.

And a stare.

That's the first time we've
seen real words from Cummins.

He's coming, he's coming.

This can't happen again.

Not twice in a series.

Another solid block,
another over goes by.

20 left.

And another one goes by.

Just saying that the glasses
had steamed up again.

Does it get easier?

No, not really.

I've been doing
this a long time.

It doesn't.

No, no.

It doesn't get easier.

Two wickets away from retaining
the Ashes for the first time in 18 years.

Painey just said, right, we're
going to give Marnus a go.

You can call it a
pun, I guess, in a way.

He's a part-time bowler.

What do you think
of this change?

Surprising.

I've always had a lot of faith,
probably more faith than others,

in Marnus because I played in his first
Test Tour and he bowled unbelievably well.

Ashes on the line in
fresh bowler at the crease.

Come on, Marnie boy!

Tuggers said six this morning,
he reckons you'll win the game.

Down that, no.

Too short.

Into the rough, mate.

What is he even thinking here?

Bowling into the fucking rough.

It's that simple, mate.

Just one good
one is all they need.

That's the way they've got to think
about it as well, the Australians.

Just know they're
one good ball away.

Too straight, eh?

Yeah.

Has he been stubborn or
has he just off got his radar off?

Sight-rider, just spin it and
just try and hit the rough.

Yes!

Superb captaincy.

What a change.

Love and shame
with the battle series.

It's love and
shame with the ball.

So there's the
breakthrough they were after.

Australia one wicket away.

A little man.

A little beauty, Marnie.

Tug of war.

Captain's move.

Australia need one
wicket to retain the Ashes.

Every time the skipper,
when they've needed

something special, has
gone, Cummins, Hazelwood.

Cummins, Hazelwood.

Has he got enough in the tank?

The end is nigh.

The Jets... They've
got a review.

They've got a review.

Come on, tell me something.

Come on, tell me something.

That's out.

It's definitely out.

It has to be out.

Come on.

It's a fair.

Did you already go to
front-on speed mission, please?

It's got to be out.

That's out.

That's out.

OK.

Can you just give me the alt-right
to see were there any batting ball?

Come on.

Please be out.

OK.

Roll forward.

Roll forward.

Roll forward.

OK.

No batting ball.

Flat line when the
ball passes the bat.

Give me the Hawkeye
when you're ready, please.

Ball tracker.

Take the boys.

Here we go.

Come straight.

Come on.

Ball tracker coming up.

Impact outside the off.

Impact in line.

With it's hitting.

Christian Wittgenford
is in the position out.

Man, he's just coming in.

It's all worth it.

It's all worth it.

The feeling in that changing room was like
nothing I've ever experienced in my life.

That was unbelievable.

I'd been to England in 2013 and
2015 and with some pretty good teams.

We weren't able to
bring that earn home.

Apparently I looked like Craig
Overton, which I was fuming about.

No disrespect to him.

But boys were calling me overs.

So obviously I had to
reenact the decision.

That's Wi-Fi.

And I just hope that
people can relate to us.

We're just normal
folks playing cricket.

It was so much fun
in that changing room.

But this is what the
relentless nature of the job.

Even if you retain the
ashes, you still go to bed.

And you know, who are
going to sleep for the next test?

How are we going
to get them back up?

300 plus for the first innings.

Let's be ruthless on our lengths
because we know it works.

Skill over emotion.

Let's switch back into
game mode tomorrow.

I think the moment we get there tomorrow,
the minute we walk out that front door

onto the ground, we
show these blokes with our

body language and our
attitude that we're back.

Nothing better than
going on for three months,

stand on the podium at
the end, winning the game.

It's a test match.

And winning the series outright.

Australia want to become the
first team to win here for 18 years.

So lots to play for.

There was definitely a
little bit of exhaustion.

But at the same time, there
was still the hunger to win 3-1.

And Australia win the toss.

What are you doing?

We're going to have
a bowl first today.

It looked as though
it was a bat first day.

By looking at the pitch,
they should be batting.

Payne won the
toss and bowled first.

It was a surprise to everyone.

All the questions on Australia after
winning the toss and electing to bowl.

It's a good shot from Burns.

Shot.

That'll be four.

Brings up England's hundred.

We just didn't start like
we did every other test.

We were unbelievable
with the ball the whole series.

And we were probably
just 1% off, really.

Short.

And again.

It's just way too short
and way too wide.

This opening spell wasn't what we
expected from this fast bowling brigade.

We just dropped catches.

We missed fielded.

Oh, down it goes.

We just gave England
way too many opportunities.

Sloppy from Australia.

England, 271
for 8, off 82 overs.

You reckon we were ruthless?

No.

What do you reckon?

No.

I know we got some fatigue.

We respect that.

But we got an opportunity that's
not going to come around very often.

Come on!

Maybe it was the emotional
high of Manchester.

Edged.

Yeah, it's gone.

Australia in all
sorts of trouble.

So much build-up and so much stress
and anxiety put into retaining the Ashes.

The whole test match,
we were just slowly off.

Oh, wow.

Whoa, he's given it.

The end of a long tour.

We had some really
inexperienced players in there.

We had some senior players, but one of
them, Steve Smith, was completely cooked.

Appreciation for Steve Smith.

The cricket in public have
acknowledged greatness.

You know, it was nice of them
to, I guess, stand and applaud.

And, yeah, I guess I'd
shifted them, perhaps.

Yes!

Yeah!

That's it.

That finishes the game off.

It squares the series 2-0.

Australia still haven't
won a Test Series in years.

They've been in
England for 18 years.

Australia, nonetheless,
will take the urn.

It certainly put a bit of a downer
on it for that day and that Test.

It was a really strange feeling
because we hadn't won the game.

But the most interesting thing for me was
after the game, and my daughter was there.

I went down, and all the wives and the
girlfriends and my daughter, and they were

all giving us...
Oh, it's well done.

It's awesome.

You know, great stuff.

You've retained the Ashes.

So, yeah, we did that last week.

We didn't finish it off
like we should have.

But if you had have said to me before we
got on the plane, you're going to make the

semi-final of the World Cup and
then you're going to retain the Ashes,

yeah, I would have taken that.

Ladies and gentlemen, to retain
the Ashes in 2019, Australia.

I think in, you know, a few years'
time and for the rest of our lives,

we're going to remember
going to England and

being the first team to
bring it home in 20 years.

It's such a
difficult thing to do.

We're a bit closer.

Like, we lost it for a long time in
England, we now drew the series and retain

the Ashes, and then hopefully next
time we go there, we'll win the Ashes.

It'd be nice, wouldn't it?

What I'm most proud about, though, is
that Australians are proud of us again.

From the deepest scandal where people were
repelled by the national cricket team to

the collective embrace of
accomplishment when the Ashes

were retained, that's the
journey of redemption in sport.

The defining figure of the
2019 Ashes was Steve Smith.

From the moment where he gets
abused everywhere he goes to him getting a

standing ovation at the end,
summed up, we're Australian cricket.

To me, where we've
been, where we're going.

People think it's a war.

People think that we
all hate each other.

I hate to disappoint.

Sorry, I hate to disappoint
you, but it's not a war.

It's a game of cricket.

A few years back, teams didn't
want a drink with the Australians.

The Aussies won respect back.

People wanted to have
a drink with them again.

I just think what we've seen has been a
team of respectful, Australian cricketers.

And that's actually all that
you want of a cricket team,

to respect the game and
to respect their opponents.

We've definitely played
some good cricket.

We haven't played great cricket yet,
but we're trending in the right direction.

Cape Town was so
traumatic that it was possible

for the game to have
really fragmented.

But in some respects, I think Australian
fans have kind of enjoyed the fight.

We like them more than
we used to, and I think that's

almost more important
than being proud of them.

It's been a real rollercoaster, but
I'm just so lucky to be doing what I'm

doing, and I'm looking forward
to doing it for a little bit longer.

Keep making our country
proud of their cricket team.

Never start again.

Gotta start again.
