The Ashes, 2009 News and Updates

England started 2009 by losing both their captain and their coach yet they ended it having triumphed in an Ashes series.

Australia's acting skipper Michael Clarke has blamed lack of access to the facilities at Oval for their drubbing in the fifth Test, resulting in Ashes defeat.

Forced into an introspection mode after the Ashes, Australian coach conceded he misread the pitch at The Oval and omitting Nathan Hauritz was a mistake.

Australian pace great Jeff Thomson has lashed out at skipper Ricky Ponting for failing to lead the side during the Ashes series which they lost to England 1-2.

Ricky Ponting received the support of his players on Wednesday after they returned home following their Ashes defeat to England at the weekend.
