Australia retained the Ashes at Old Trafford with a rain-affected draw, but the sentiment in the change room was a polar opposite to the buzzing celebrations four years earlier.
In 2019, Australia retained the urn with a win in Manchester, the first time an Australian team had done so in in the UK in 18 years. Fast forward four years, Travis Head says the same achievement was celebrated very differently.
Head also says a special guest – an Australian sporting great – visited the change rooms both times in 2019 and 2023.
Fair to say the atmosphere wasn’t quite the same.
“I was like, ‘It’s a bit different to 2019, we can actually have a conversation, there aren’t blokes absolutely bouncing off the walls.”
