England women toast Ashes victory
ENGLAND’S victorious women’s cricket team took a moment to savour their Ashes triumph in Australia yesterday before jetting home. Charlotte Edwards, the first England captain to win the women’s Ashes twice Down Under, said: “I’m still struggling to come to terms with exactly what we have achieved over the last five weeks. The emotions I am feeling now are incomparable to anything I have ever experienced during my international career.” England retained the Ashes despite losing the last two Twenty20 matches of the series.
