Pat Cummins wanted every contributor to Australia's demolition of England in shot for their celebrations, ditching the champagne so Usman Khawaja could join in.
The hosts tore through Joe Root's batsmen for another commanding victory on Sunday, sealing the Ashes with a 4-0 victory after the fifth and final Test.
Cummins and Co had already popped their bottles and enjoyed frothy hosing with the urn, when the skipper spotted Khawaja standing aside.
