England Prove Long Held Theory That Catches Win Matches

The great nation of England have notched another impressive milestone on the way to saving the game of cricket.

Ben Stokes and his mighty Bazballers have managed to put the 'worst Australian side in decades' to the sword, and reduce the hosts to a 4-1 series win.

The stunning result from the moral arbiters of the sport also comes with another incredibly achievement.

The travelling band of silly season Poms who spent more time out on the tiles than out on the field have proven the long held theory that catches win matches.

Hypothesised by junior cricket coaches around the country and the world for decades, the theory proposes that if you catch the ball and take wickets, you tend to win more games of cricket than you lose.

Now, after being over-prepared for the Ashes, the English have proven that theory correct.

Dropping more catches than can actually even be remembered by 99% of the general public, the team that would give anything to score at the rate Travis Head does, have proven that hypothesis true.

While many have called on the English to pay credit to Aussies like Marnus, Smudge, Nes, and Starcy for their stunning catches through the series which helped prove the theory, they have of course sought to play down that impact on their breakthrough.

"Same old Aussies, trying to steal our thunder," laughed Spiritual Leader and Coach Brendon Baz McCullum.

"Not happening."

"And technically, if Alex Carey get's given out by the Third Umpire then we are looking at a completely different series so I wouldn't be looking too much into the result either."

More to come.
