Australia regian the ashes
This year when the Australian team went to England they played well in patches but lost the series 3-0 but today was the day when the Australian team regained the ashes. The Australian bowling was good in England but batting let them down badly but in Australia all the departments clicked well and trashed the England team in three tests so far. This team had the hunger to bring back the ashes.In this series so far Johnson has been the main difference with his pace going up to 145 to 150kmph which rattled the England batsman, along with that Ryan Harris, Siddle and lyon have given Johnson great support. I think overall Australia deserves all the credit for such performances in three test matches so far with two to go.
For the England team only broad has been impressive with 14 wickets and Anderson, Swann has been not at their best in the series. Cook, Pitersen, Bell, Root have got starts but not converted into big scores to give the team a chance to fight. The first innings has been decisive with England team bowled out for 136,179 in Brisbane, 172 and 312 in Adelaide, 251 and 353 in Perth which has been their main problem. On the other hand whenever the Aussies were in trouble somebody came and played crucial knocks to turnaround the match in favour of the Australian team.
Also the main difference was the catching, The England team dropped catches at vital time but the Aussies took some great catches. The England defeat this year hurt them badly but they came back strongly and gave the England team a taste of their own medicine which means that the Aussies taught them a good lesson and with 2 matches to go I think England must try to be aggressive and forget that Ashes are gone, play with positive mindset.
For the Aussies team Haddin, Clarke, Smith, Warner has been in good form and the tail of the Aussies has been contributed well but the England tail has been dismantled by Johnson. The big positive for the England team has that Ben Storkes is good player and has scored only century for the England team.
