Australia ready for Ashes after routing India in WTC final
London | Australia was primed for the Ashes series after winning the World Test Championship by crushing India by 209 runs on the fifth morning of the final at the Oval on Sunday.
Despite a never-reached target of 444, India started the last day with hope at 3-164 and linchpin Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane in the middle. But after Kohli was out to a great second-slip catch by Steve Smith, India lasted only 90 minutes longer and was all out for 234 by the scheduled lunch.
