Travis Head was front and centre in the celebrations at Adelaide Oval, but the player of the match in the fifth Ashes Test took a backseat of sorts as Australia capped off its final series victory in style at the Sydney Cricket Ground.

While Head as the hometown hero took on the responsibilities in Adelaide as Australia sealed the urn in just 11 days, this time around the leading runs scorer said it was on the team’s Sydneysiders to organise everything.

“I don’t know if I’m fully the celebration guy,” Head told the ABC, before nominating teammate Beau Webster as a potential candidate to take on the honour.

“I reckon Slug’s got a twinkle in his eye.

“I said on stage, it’s Sydney… I’ll do Adelaide and I sorted it. It was a pretty good party in Adelaide… don’t worry about that.

“Sydney, it’s going to be the Sydneysiders who organise it. But I reckon Slug’s got a twinkle in his eye.”

Head also singled out Josh Inglis as a player to “watch out for” as the celebrations continued into the night.

Webster told reporters on Friday morning that there were a few “sore heads” after the celebrations, although he called it a “pretty subdued” evening.

He did have one nomination for ‘Best on Ground’: Michael Neser.

Webster said the seamer was in “pretty good form” but added that because all the families were there it was “more of a celebration of all the hard work and sacrifices they make as well”.

To that effect, Head shared plenty of photos on his Instagram story of himself and family soaking up the moment. First, he posed for a photo with partner Jess in front of the SCG pavilion while also taking a moment to hold the urn with children Milla and Harrison.

Both Alex Carey and Jake Weatherald were also pictured celebrating the series win.

It was a nice relaxed afternoon, which was capped off with a touching tribute to the retiring Usman Khawaja as the playing group belted out a stirring rendition of Underneath the Southern Cross I Stand on the 38-year-old’s farewell sign.

It was also later revealed that Australian and English players buried the hatchet by coming together post-series for drinks in the SCG pavilion.

It came after Australian players were left disappointed when England seemingly brushed them for the traditional post-Ashes drinks in 2023, although Ben Stokes later clarified they were held up by extended retirement presentations in the dressing room.

“They were good. They are a great bunch of lads,” Webster said of the drinks with England’s players at the SCG.

“We play a lot of cricket against them and a lot of guys play with them in the county system and various T20 tournaments so everyone knows each other and it was a good moment. We spent a few hours in the SCG bar there just talking about the series, talking cricket and just having a beer with moments.”

Head, on the other hand, delivered a cheeky sledge to Jamie Smith when referencing the possibility of sharing drinks with England’s players.

“I thought, I wonder what it’d be like sitting in their dressing room sometimes and playing a pretty rank shot,” Head joked to ABC after play.

“I’ll have a beer with Jamie Smith later and we can compare whose was worse.”
