Video: Catches win matches and moustaches win Ashes; check how!

Australian speedster Mitchell Johnson stunned the cricket fraternity with his immediate retirement from international cricket on Tuesday. The announcement came as a surprise to many as he is just 34 and could have played a bit longer. He though is the best judge of his body and must have taken a right call at the right time.

Coming back to his announcement, it prompted an outpouring of congratulations on social media. Many of his colleagues and counterparts congratulated him on a fantastic career. Cricket Australia too wished him all through the day with a series of tweets that encapsulated his career. In one such tweet, their official twitter handle shared a light video that was a spoof on Johnson’s moustache’s role in Australia’s Ashes 2013 victory.

The video emphasises that moustaches win Ashes is as much an established fact as catches win matches. It drives home its claim by showing images of past Ashes moustached heroes in the video, through a light-hearted parody song. Catch it here:
