England bat for two sessions and declare, and wrap up the Aussie innings with Anderson getting a six for.

Seems my 5% was not enough....

Very disappointed in England because that effectively kills the ashes.

Congrats australia brilliant win,hard luck england but shoe is on other foot this time.

I agree on the not batting long enough for draws but more to the point with our weakened bowling attack I think the series was always going to be lost because it doesn't matter how many runs you get, to win a test match youmust claim 20 wickets!

What a win. Enjoyed it most immensely! England did not score quick enough in their innings to pressure Aus. The run rate was 2.7 an over and did not give themselves time for a good crack at the Aussies on the second afternoon, otherwise it should have been a draw.
2 nil, 2 nil, 2 nil, 2 nil!

Typical performance by England. Why did I even have any optimism going into this? :'(
