Twitter reacts as Australia retain the Ashes for the first time since 2001
In yet another dramatic finish, Australia skittled out England in the very last hour of the Test to retain the Ashes for the first time since 2001. With the win, Tim Paine became the first Aussie captain since Steve Waugh in 2001 to retain the Ashes, and the Twitterati reacted on the same.
Beware of the "Temporary Captain" 
Ricky Ponting never did!

Michael Clarke never did!
Tim Paine did ✔️
Retaining Ashes in England!
Finally, after 18 years, Australia's dream came true!!
We have been terrible with the bat! The Aussies deserve the series win! Our batsman need a massive look at themselves because they ain’t played their part one bit! #ashes

Ridiculous Tweet!!
Depressing thought. England will struggle to win an Ashes series until Steve Smith retires 🤷🏼♂️#ashes

Australia played brilliantly throughout the series they deserves to win .@cricketcomau#Ashes2019
That was a brilliant delivery from Labuschagne to dissmiss Leach!!
Very pleased to see Glamorgan’s Marnus Labuschagne win the Ashes. As the saying goes, strong Glamorgan, strong Australia...

That's cricket for you!
So close but yet so far I suppose. #ENGvAUS #Ashes19 Congrats to @CricketAus for the thorough preparation for this Ashes. I guess we can't win everything this year. Hardly had a bowling attack to paper over the cracks of the batting. It was a great series nonetheless. pic.twitter.com/xYQOYArOvX
