Ashes 2017/18, 5th Test: Hits and misses

Hit: Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins waited for six long years to play his maiden Test at home in Sydney and he made the most of the special occasion by becoming the leading wicket-taker of the match.

The Australian quick was arguably the hosts' best bowler in Sydney as he finished the match with figures of 8-139.

The 24-year-old cleaned up England's middle and lower order on the final morning at the SCG and for this match-winning effort, Cummins was declared the Man of the Match

"I couldn't have asked for much more. To get through the five, win the series. It's been a lot of fun, we are all really close and have played a lot of cricket together. Nathan as held up an end which means the rest of us can attack", said an ecstatic Cummins.
