The English media has claimed that the current Ashes victory was not worth a lot of celebration since England won the Ashes in the most convincing fashion, without having to fight.

According to The Guardian, England's win in 2005 was celebrated by the nation, even by those with only a peripheral interest, for England had overcome one of the finest of all teams.

In 2009 they turned the series round, came back from a heavy defeat and won the decider in fine style, the report said.

However, the report added that after the third Test in the recently concluded Ashes, the series had lost most of its interest value.
