Reaction to England's Ashes success

How social media reacted to England's massive victory at Trent Bridge, which secured a 3-1 Ashes win.

WHAT THE SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD SAID ABOUT ENGLAND'S ASHES TRIUMPH

"I said I wouldn't cry but maybe I might at some stage. Someone told us to watch the Ashes from behind the sofa. From where we've been as a side over the last 18 months, we've stuck to what we believe was the right thing to do. The way the lads stepped up has been unbelievable." - Alastair Cook

"Alastair Cook has stood up as a man and led from the front - he's a pleasure to play with, he's got such hunger for England to do well." - Stuart Broad

"To piss or not to piss ??" - England allrounder Ben Stokes Tweets a picture of the wicket at Trent Bridge in reference to the controversial manner in which the team celebrated winning the urn in 2013 by urinating on The Oval pitch.

"Well done England on the ashes return. Bad luck Aussie boys but we will still have a crack 5th test! Congrats @MClarke23 on your career." - Mitchell Johnson

"Also congrats to @TheCricketECB and the England team on winning the ashes and apologies to all our fans . We tried but not good enough." - Darren Lehmann

"Congratulations to Alastair Cook & the England team on the Ashes victory. Played fearless & entertaining cricket, was nice to watch!!" - Shane Warne

"Quite an unreal effort for England to win this Ashes series, but thoroughly deserved! The structure in place is a bloody good one! #BOOM - Ostracised England batsman Kevin Pietersen.
