Both sides were out last night having drinks together at Cirque Le Soir in Soho.

The series was fantastic entertainment.

Storm in a tea cup!

Great to read that

@KiwiMurph didn’t stop many trying to make hay with it today…

There seems to have been a concerted effort by the media to inflame this Ashes series almost from day 1. Yeah there have been a few contentious moments but that is par for the course. Reading the media beat ups though, you'd think the two teams were constantly at fisticuffs.

Pretty cool if true.

True

Is there serious chat / opinions on if they got on the lash together?

Honestly, some of you care?

[barbarian]

I think given there was so much chat about the 'spirit of cricket' during this series the post-match drinks (or lack thereof) take on a slightly greater significance.

But I agree it's all a bit of a storm in a teacup.

[MiketheSnow]

If you can't go for a pint and a post-match chat, dissection, and laugh after competing against each other for around 20 days then cricket and sport is fucked

Someone nicked Ben Stokes’ bags.

Both sides ended up in Cirque Le Soir nightclub after The Oval test for drinks.

England were late because they stopped off at High Street Kensington McDonalds en route.
