Piers Morgan has officially fallen on his own sword, questioning why a swarm of Australian "convicts" are lining up to gloat in his face following England's dismal showing in the Test arena<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With England failing to secure a single victory and the Australian team<\/a> already retaining the Ashes urn with a dominant 3-0 lead, the polarising media figure took to social media to vent his frustrations.<\/p>\n

"Went to Harrods this morning and had at least a dozen Australians come up to me gloating about the Ashes<\/a>," Morgan posted on X.<\/p>\n

The irony isn't lost on cricket fans.<\/p>\n

Prior to the start of the Ashes, the British broadcaster confidently declared England would win<\/a> the Ashes 4-0 or 5-0.<\/p>\n

Fans can only imagine the grin spreading across skipper Pat Cummins<\/a>' face as Morgan's pre-series bravado comes back to haunt him.<\/p>\n

"They are pretty brave from the other side of the world," the Aussie skipper told Nine's Today<\/em> back in October.<\/p>\n

"Whatever it is to stay relevant."<\/p>\n

\"Piers<\/p>\n

Even on the other side of the world, Morgan hasn't been able to escape the consequences of his own commentary.<\/p>\n

It is easy to see why the media personality so frazzled; being cornered in London by Australian fans waiting for the perfect moment to show their Ashes receipts.<\/p>\n

Although Morgan conceded defeat, saying the Australian side "hammered" their rivals, it's sure to be a tough pill to swallow for England's loudest cheerleader.<\/p>\n

The Boxing Day test will start on December 26, with Australia naming their 15-player squad<\/a> – captain Cummins and Nathan Lyon<\/a> out of the line-up for replacements Jhye Richardson<\/a> and Todd Murphy<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
