LONDON : For Australia captain Pat Cummins, Sunday's crushing victory over India in the World Test Championship final signalled a perfect start to what he hopes will be a"legacy defining" stay in England.
Size really will not matter as Australia are determined to win an Ashes series in England for the first time since 2001 and their comprehensive victory over India in the WTC final has given them the confidence of ending that 22-year wait when they begin their five-test series at Edgbaston on Friday. "Whether we like it or not, Ashes tend to define eras and teams. I think the great thing about this final is we feel like we've played awesome cricket for the last two years and being there at the end holding the trophy feels really well deserved.
Their WTC triumph was hailed by the International Cricket Council, who wrote on Twitter:"The all-conquering Australia have now won every ICC Men's Trophy".
