Harris man of the match :o Didnt expect that

Ringo

Ryan Harris MOTM - Probably can not argue given he took 8 wickets.

Johnson man of the match, not really surprising, but he had a great series.

Ringo

TBH I would have preferred Joint Winners of The Series in Johnson and Haddin.  Was a shame to separate them as bothe were outstanding and some of Haddins innings really rescued Australia.

Hope the cracks that have been papered over by Haddins efforts do not widen in SA.

Very very comfortable with where our bowling attack stands as we head to SA. A lot rests on our top order, need to stop the collapses we can be prone to.

Been saying the exact same thing to my lad Ringo, but they probably didn't have 2 medals, and two trophy's . In saying that, it would of been great if the two shared it

Think the bowling has been great but the way we have won this series has certainly wallpapered over the cracks that are still present in our batting line up no doubt about it Ringo.

Hopefully the selectors have the balls to drop Bailey.

This is all just a dream. Right? 5-0, amazing. Michael Clarke was very quiet afterwards, everyone else running around cheering and he was just standing in the middle of the oval, as if it was his last test match and he wanted to soak it all in once more. :)

Baileyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
Easy to make runs on day three, 300 runs in front. Yeah kindly step aside Mr Bailey, Faulkner or Cutting for me, even Khawaja at #5/6 for stability down there,

When we are 4/50 v South Africa, who do we really want coming in #6?
If you look at the time he posted this he was actually celebrating Bailey take a catch, not his batting ;)

Nah, it's just that he had nothing planned for tomorrow, he thought he was playing a cricket game :P

Such an amazing series. To think that the only teams to whitewash an Ashes series before are considered among the all-time great teams, and then for this XI to go out and do it...

Just an amazing effort by every single one of the Australian players and they completely demolished England in every way possible. We are not the best in the world yet, but we are definitely on the improve, and we are doing everything right at the moment. I can't wait to first beat the English some more in the upcoming ODIs and then face a good challenge of where the team is at in South Africa.

What a series... Lets smash 'em in the One Dayers now too! :D

Team of Champions! Love ya work boys 8)

Agree BB, South Africa will show us where we are really at, looking forward to it. Will be a lot harder than this was no question.
