Australia had a few nervous moments but safely chased down its 160-run victory target before tea on the final day of the fifth Ashes test on Thursday for a five-wicket victory and a 4-1 series triumph. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/sports/2026/01/08/more-sports/australia-ashes-triumph/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #moresports #theashes #england #australia #usmankhawaja #stevesmith #benstokes

Tension grew with a succession of wickets and a contentious DRS review before Alex Carey hit the winning runs to guide the Australians to 161 for five in 31 overs. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/sports/cricket/australia-win-ashes-4-1-as-usman-khawaja-bids-emotional-farewell-cnr348ek?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #Ashes #AustaliavsEngland #UsmanKhawaja #BrydonCarse

A simple full toss ended Khawaja’s final innings, but the SCG’s standing ovation cemented his legacy beyond statistics. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/sports/cricket/usman-khawaja-ashes-farewell-scg-ovation-al49jn7e?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #UsmanKhawaja #Ashes2026 #SCGFarewell #AustralianCricket

Joe Root (72*) and Harry Brook (78*) built a record partnership to save England after early collapses on Day 1 of the 5th Ashes Test.

“I always received strong support from the team and the board,” said the former England cricketer. https://english.mathrubhumi.com/sports/cricket/never-faced-any-racial-discrimination-while-playing-says-panesar-post-khawajas-reveal-uh3py2rz?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #MontyPanesar #RacialDiscrimination #UsmanKhawaja

I know nothing about race relations in Australia. The info in this is eye opening.

Usman Khawaja is leaving international cricket, and had much to say about treatment from the media and former players during his career.

Usman Khawaja to 'fight' cricket authorities' decision on Gaza message

Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja says he will "fight" the decision to bar him from making an on-field statement in support of Palestinians. The batter had planned to wear shoes bearing the words "all lives are equal" and "freedom is a human right" at a Test match with Pakistan. The International Cricket Council did not allow this as it considered the statements "political", Khawaja said.
