Piers Morgan is sick of Australians in the UK after Ashes humiliation

Piers Morgan has taken a swipe at Australian “convicts” in the UK after he was approached by a dozen Aussies saying the same thing.

The 60-year-old has been forced to swallow his pride as Aussie cricketers continue to celebrate a historic series where the Urn was wrapped up in 11 days of play.

Morgan was one of the most outspoken critics of the Australian team leading into the first Test in Perth, describing Pat Cummins’ team as the worst Aussie outfit in 25 years.

Cummins, Travis Head and others have kept the receipts and have openly mocked England cricket greats who predicted Australia’s downfall.

Those in the Aussie dressing room are hardly alone in reminding Morgan about his series prediction that Australia would not win a Test this summer.

Former Aussie speed demon Brett Lee called Morgan out in a post on X on Sunday, asking if the TV host needed a “cuddle”.

Recent comments shared on X have been flooded with gleeful posts from gloating Aussie cricket supporters and it now appears the former newspaper editor can’t escape his Australian tormentors anywhere.

“Went to Harrods this morning and had at least a dozen Australians come up to me gloating about the Ashes,” he wrote in a message viewed more than 300,000 times.

“Have all the convicts emigrated to Knightsbridge?”

The post only opened the door for more Aussie fans to delight in his misery with the post attracting more than 500 comments.

Morgan’s X page has best summed up the English team’s rollercoaster ride — and its flaming nose dive into the cricketing abyss.

Morgan drank the Bazball Kool-Aid by the bucketful in serenading English captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum early in the series, at one point calling the skipper the greatest Englishman since Winston Churchill.

“Right, no mucking around England,” Morgan wrote to his 8.6 million followers on X during the Perth Test.

“I want these last two wickets taken asap, and I want 400 on the board by close. Flat pitch, hot day, no excuses.”

Six hours later, with England in disarray, Morgan wrote: “FFS” alongside three red angry-face emojis.

When England set Australia a target of 205 in the first Test, he wrote on X: “We’re going to win.”

Then, a couple of hours later, he said: “This is painful #Ashes.”

“Australia beat England in just two bloody days. Disastrous start to the Ashes. I’m going back to bed.”

It didn’t get any easier for him on the final day of the Brisbane Test, wretchedly posting:

“Another dire drubbing. Come on England, we need a better fight than this.

“Australia aren’t a better team, they’re just playing with more brain-cells – which given they’re Australians, is inexplicable. Wise up, fast.”

Morgan, who previously called the Aussie team “miscreants” following the explosive Jonny Bairstow stumping in 2003, is now licking his wounds.

You can only imagine the grin that must spread over Cummins’ face whenever he is reminded of Morgan’s comments before the series.

“They are pretty brave from the other side of the world,” the skipper told the Today Show in October.

“Whatever it is to stay relevant.”

Even on the other side of the world Morgan has not been able to escape his own noose.

It’s easy to see why he has been so frazzled by those Australians approaching him in London armed with Ashes receipts and victorious bravado.

Lee famously broke Morgan’s ribs as they filmed a TV segment during the 2013 Ashes series where Morgan was struck when facing Lee bowling some heat in the nets.

“Of all the people in the world I least want a cuddle from … you’re top of the list,” Morgan posted this week responding to Lee’s public welfare check on the humiliated commentator.

“This series has been almost as painful as you breaking my ribs.”

The gloating of those Aussies in London must hurt almost as much.
