'I've never seen anything like it'

ENGLAND'S miserable Ashes tour was summed up in one memorable moment at the SCG on Sunday.

They had long given up the fight for the urn but a single Ryan Harris delivery, as he marched toward match-winning figures of 5/25, broke their spirit.

It was nothing more than a defensive shot from England opener Michael Carberry, but the ball split his Kookaburra bat in half. Only the bat's sticker kept the two pieces of willow together.

Australian allrounder Shane Watson was astounded. He's broken bats while playing before, but never with a defensive shot.

"Normally if the bat breaks like that it's from a big pull shot or cut shot, so I'm surprised it didn't go earlier," he said.

"I'm surprised he did actually have his stickers on as well because that might have flicked back on the stumps. He found some pretty random ways to get out at times throughout the series and that might have topped things off for him."

It was Carberry's first Ashes tour, but it could very well be his last despite ending the series as England's second highest run scorer behind Kevin Pietersen.

Ironically, at the start of the season Carberry appeared in a video promoting his new bat, which is called the Recoil.

"This is what I'll be using this summer," he says.

"Hopefully there will be some runs in it."
