England's innings win was their first in Australia in nearly 24 years and their third in the last 40. Here are more stats highlights from the game:
The gulf between the two teams can be seen in their series batting averages so far: England's overall average is 87.31 runs per wicket; Australia's is 36.67. Four England batsmen - Alastair Cook, Ian Bell, Kevin Pietersen, and Jonathan Trott - have 100-plus averages, while only Michael Hussey has managed it so far for Australia. Graeme Swann was England's best bowler in the match, and he continued his domination of Marcus North and Simon Katich. North was dismissed by him for the fifth time, and Katich for the fourth. Both have struggled to counter Swann - North averages 26 against him and Katich 18.75. With Katich ruled out and North likely to be dropped, Swann might have to miss out on bowling to his two favourite batsmen. One of the few silver linings for Australia was the form of Michael Hussey and Shane Watson. Both scored fifties in each innings - the fourth time they've made 50-plus scores in each innings of a Test - but none of those knock were converted into hundreds. In fact, that's been another big difference between the two teams: Australia have scored only two hundreds and eight fifties in the series so far, while England have five centuries - two of them being double-hundreds - and four fifties. Clearly, when the batsmen have got their eye in, Australia's bowlers have struggled for penetration.
