Australia has lost some of its initial momentum in the ongoing Ashes 2023 after winning the first two Test matches.
They lost the third game and played very poorly in the fourth game in Manchester. But the weather saved them, as Day 5 was postponed, and as a result, the visiting team was able to keep the Ashes. However, Australia’s flamboyant batter Travis Head is not pleased with the result and wants to win the series’ last game to firmly establish their dominance on English soil.
Notably, the 29-year-old acknowledged that the team did not perform to their ability in the most recent game and wants things to be different at Kennington Oval. In order to recover in the fifth Test and win the series by a wide margin, he continued by advising the players to ignore that game entirely and maintain their composure.
The consensus was, “Yes, we got away with one, but in the end, we came here to win the Ashes, and we have come a long way toward doing that. We may not have had our finest week last week, but if we can forget about it and concentrate on the excellent things we did in the first three Test matches, it will help us this week, according to India Today’s report on Head.
In contrast, Travis Head claimed that after keeping the Ashes,
The players didn’t celebrate much because a draw didn’t inspire them to play well. Thus, he predicted that his teammates would come out swinging in the fifth Test, triumph, and then rejoice.
You would want to win a Test match to keep them, and perhaps this week we can do that by winning a Test match. There was no genuine tremendous elation since we could see the situation coming, Head continued. A draw is a different sensation regardless of the circumstances.
