England folded in dismal fashion to lose the fifth Test within three days and with it the Ashes series 5-0 to end their miserable winter in entirely appropriate fashion.
[B]Alastair Cook's men were bowled out for a feeble 166 inside 32 overs to be thrashed by 281 runs in Sydney, at one stage losing four wickets in 11 balls.[/B]
It was the story of the last six weeks compressed into one final chastening day as Mitchell Johnson took three more pivotal wickets with ferocious pace to end with 37 in the series at an average of 13.9. Ryan Harris mopped up the tail to claim 5-25.
"It's pathetic - there is no other word. It's humiliation. England have just disintegrated. How do you get bowled out in 32 overs?
"It's bad enough to lose all five, but it's how you lose. This is a worse loss than when we lost 5-0 [in 2006-07] because they had great players like McGrath, Warne and Gilchrist last time."
All of England's senior batsmen once again failed on a tour when not a single one has totalled 300 runs, and when six Australians have well in excess.
[B]It is only the third whitewash in Ashes history, and is arguably the worst tour in England's cricket history after they came into this series as favourites and against a side beaten in seven of their previous nine Tests.[/B] [/quote]
It was like watching a very slow but satisfying trainwreck. Absolutely no-one ever predicted Australia would win in such a fashion, and even before the series started England were the hot favourites.
Ah you posted it 3 minutes before I did
Anyway

With this kind of win someone just got hella rich on sports bets
The English KFC burger wins over the Australian one though.
this is the kind of result bookmakers love since they just rake it in.
Also it was good to see all the England fans who traveled to Australia keep up their energy even when they were losing hard, they were the loudest fans at every test.

A gentleman's sport, spectated by many bogans.
Mitchell Johnson was pretty superb over the 5 test matches. I can't believe how fast he can bowl it's crazy. He deserved man of the series.
The colonies are revolting, attack!!

welp, it was a good run.
I was at the first test in brisbane and after the second day english collapse me and my mates were chanting "we're gonna win 5 nil" to piss of the pommies that were near us. Never would have thought that we would win 5-0, absolutely dreadful display from the english.
Australia made a bunch of grown men cry in my Local so congrats I guess
