Sharing a photo of Alessia Russo celebrating the Three Lionesses' third goal and one of Jonny Bairstow during the 2023 Ashes tournament, Morgan said that the win was revenge for the cricket.

Australia retained the Ashes after the series was tied 2-2, but the most significant talking point of the series came in the second test when Bairstow was run out.

As noted by SportBible, the English keeper was given out controversially after he left his crease, believing that the over had been called.

Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey then threw the ball at the stumps, and a confused Bairstow was given his marching orders.

The moment caused a lot of controversy during the series, and the Australians were accused of being unsporting. The decision struck a chord with Morgan, particularly, as he took to social media to voice his frustration over the incident.

"You cannot be serious??!! Australia, that is pathetic. How can you possibly want to win an Ashes Test match like that?" he said at the time.

With the Three Lionesses getting a hard-fought win over the host nation, Morgan feels as if justice has been served.

Morgan picks Ronaldo over Messi

Renowned broadcaster Piers Morgan has produced a "large sheet of facts" to prove that Cristiano Ronaldo is a better footballer than Lionel Messi.

Messi has been in sensational form in Qatar as he pushes to inspire Argentina to World Cup glory.

The 35-year-old starred as La Albiceleste thumped Croatia 3-0 to progress to the World Cup final, netting one and providing one assist, Sports Brief reported.
