Speaking on the UK Telegraph’s Vaughany and Tuffers podcast, with former England cricketers Michael Vaughan and Phil Tufnell, Morgan continued his vicious assaults on the Australian workforce.
Australia retained the Ashes following the fourth Test washout in Manchester, which ensured the urn would return to Australia with the vacationers holding an unassailable 2-1 lead heading to the fifth Test on the Oval.
And Morgan shouldn’t be joyful, believing England would’ve not solely gained the fourth Test had rain not intervened – however that they’d have sealed the collection in London this week.
“This was building to one of the all-time great series — forget Ashes — of any cricket series, internationally, in history,” Morgan mentioned.
“To be 2-0 down and then roar back to 2-2 and then go to the Oval, which is exactly what would have happened had we been able to play more than two hours at the weekend … it would have been, really, the greatest comeback in cricket history internationally and the greatest series there’s ever been.
“We should have won at Lord’s, we should have won every Test, let’s be honest. We’re a better team, I don’t think there’s any doubt about that.
“We were dudded by the rain, and I think at the Oval we’re going to flatten them. We need to.
“I don’t want to lose 3-1 – to lose 3-1 to this Australian team of cheating convicts would be extremely annoying.”
