It was 'Same old Aussies always winning' at Adelaide Oval, as they extended their unbeaten streak against England in Australia to 18 Tests, sealing the Ashes series win by beating their visitors by 82 runs. Be it Travis Head's fiery centuries at Perth and Adelaide, Mitchell Starc's magic with the pace and his all-round contributions and bowlers like Brendan Doggett, Michael Nesser and Scott Boland stepping up in absence of star bowlers Pat Cummins (for first two Tests) and Josh Hazlewood, this series has shown Australia's immense depth, their ability to scratch their way to a win and 'clutch' mentality.

Besides his batting, he was just as exceptional behind the stumps, taking some really clean catches to prove his mettle as one of the best glovesmen in world cricket right now.
