Aussie media going to town on them....

"Our Worst XI," headlined the Sydney Morning Herald, as Australia started the final day at 228 for seven in their second innings, still 151 behind England's record first innings of 644.

No Australian team has ever suffered three innings defeats in a single Test series, the newspaper said, calling it "an embarrassment of historic proportions".

"Australia have been given a cricketing education," wrote columnist Peter Roebuck. "If England's victories on home soil were faintly fortuitous then this was the real thing, an execution carried out by an efficient and motivated side."

England look set to win their first series in Australia since 1987, after already retaining the coveted Ashes urn by taking an unbeatable 2-1 lead in the five-Test series.

"Can't bat, can't bowl, can't even think straight," read another Herald headline. "Revolutions have broken out, palaces stormed and coups de grace mounted for less than this," stormed columnist Greg Baum.

"Throughout England resembled a boa constrictor, a reptile that wraps itself around its foe and crushes it until its eyeballs pop out," a front-page opinion piece said.

"Seldom has ruthlessness been as attractively and painfully delivered."
It's true to say that if Shankly had told us to invade Poland we'd be queuing up 10 deep all the way from Anfield to the Pier Head.

Poor Clarke looks as though he is going to burst into tears.
It looks to me as if we have signed another 'average' player. I'll hold back my complete opinion until I see the lad play

Haha. He's been watching Hodgson spout shite it seems.

Hughes
Smith
Clarke

Got to go, imo.

Johnson and - although I like the lad - Hilfy's  positions are questionable, too.

Fantastic stuff.  So often over the last 20 years have wondered when we'd next be able to beat these buggers in their back yard.....delighted to have finally seen it.

Entire team have been fantastic......still annoyed about Perth, though!


The OCD part of me is also slightly annoyed we let them get that extra run....would have been great to bowl them out for the same score in each innings.
