Australia grind England to ashes, declaring ‘we’re not a charity’

' “We thought about it and had a good chat about what our options were and whether we could force a result . . . ... when it got to a point where we felt we couldn’t win the game, we weren’t going to throw it open to England to give them a chance,’’ Lanning said when asked if a declaration was considered.
It was a view endorsed by Australia’s coach, Matthew Mott.
‘‘We’re not a charity, we don’t give up a result that easily,’’ Mott said.'
[Yep, I agree. Lanning and Mott should have spoken to S. Waugh & Gilchrist, though that would require owning a time machine.
Throwing away Tests by irresponsible declarations is not the right thing to do.]

Australia won the T20 game overnight with ease. Lanning (133* off 63 balls), Mooney (54 from 33) and Gardner (27 from 14), set up a huge total of 3/226.
England managed 9/133 in reply. Schutt took 3/25, Perry 2/11 and Jonaasen, Kimmince and Molineux each got 1.
That was England's worst-ever T20 loss, at a venue where they'd not lost in the last 14 matches they'd played. Lanning's was the highest score ever in T20 international cricket and it was Australia's highest-ever T20 score.
Australia won the Ashes outright with that victory - they lead 10-2, with only 4 more points available from the last two T20 games.

From 3/35, Lanning (43*) and Perry (47*) saw them home. Perry was named POTM. Australia now lead the Ashes points 12 to 2, with 1 T20 to play (at Bristol on Wednesday).
