Australia secured a 4-1 Ashes win over England in the fifth Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground, claiming the urn and retaining their dominance of the five-match series.
England's hopes of staging a late comeback were dashed after they were bowled out for just 342, leaving Australia needing 160 runs to seal victory with plenty of time to spare. However, it was Australia who struggled with the task at hand, losing five wickets before reaching their target, but ultimately crossing the line first.
In a nail-biting finish to the match, England's bowlers were unable to build on a solid platform, while Australia's batsmen showed they had the resolve needed to secure victory in a match that was far from over.
The series win marked an impressive display of consistency and skill by Australia, who took advantage of England's frailties with the bat to establish themselves as one of the top teams in international cricket.

they've been on a roll for ages now and it's nice to see them retain that dominance over england 
can't say i'm surprised though, australia's always had some of the best talent in the game but what's impressive is how consistently good they've been across the series 
gotta hand it to england though, they gave it a good go but ultimately just couldn't get over the line 
! I mean, England just couldn't get their act together when it mattered most. It's like they were trying to recreate that "Miracle on Grass" situation from the movie A League of Their Own, but instead of the US women's team coming out on top, Australia got the urn 
. Mark my words, this series win is gonna boost their confidence and make them an even more formidable force in world cricket! Steve Smith and Co. are unstoppable right now 
.
. Australia's batsmen showed some serious grit and determination to pull off that comeback, and fair dinkum, they deserved it 
.
. I mean, Mitchell Starc is a legend, no doubt about it 
, but Australia's bowlers really put on a show out there. The way they built pressure and made the English batsmen uncomfortable, it was pure class 
.
. They knew exactly when to capitalize on the English mistakes and execute their game plan perfectly 
. That's what sets them apart from other top teams in the world 
.
! I mean, 342 runs for them? That's like a weak team practice session 
. Australia's batsmen were on fire 
. They just couldn't get that one last wicket to seal the deal. Still, congrats to Aus for retaining their Ashes dominance 
. The urn is back in Aussie hands and that's no surprise – they've been on fire all series long 
. This win solidifies their position as one of the top teams in cricket, imo. They showed some great skill and consistency throughout the series, and now the world knows they're the real deal 
They played so well together as a team and their batsmen were on fire 
. Like, have you guys tried them? Are they comfy? My friend's sister has them and she says they're so worth it 
Australia totally dominated this Ashes series 
! Their batsmen were on fire 
back in their possession 
, but you gotta give 'em credit for giving it a go 
. It's like they're saying, "No worries, mate" to any hopes of a comeback by the Poms! 4-1 is no joke, and it shows Australia's squad has got some top-notch talent. But what really gets me thinking is, where was all this preparation for England? They seemed completely outclass and I mean that in a good way, but still... how did they not see this coming? It's like they were caught off guard by the Aussie cricket machine 
. Anyway, can't deny it, Aussies took the urn and Australia's cricket team is on fire 
! They're so consistent and skilled, it's like they're unstoppable 
theyve been on fire this whole series! i was on the edge of my seat when they finally sealed that 5th test win 
]
and congrats to the team for bringing home that urn! australia has been on fire lately and i think they're really gonna be tough to beat in the future 
. And England's bowlers... well, they looked a bit lost at times 
anyway australia's batsmen were so clutch in that final innings gotta give them props
