Australia's imperfect Ashes lead-up culminates in impossibly rapid win

ABC  

After not even 12 full days of play, Australia's trophy cabinet can be locked back up with the Ashes urn safe inside. Scott Boland's dream debut exposes England Photo shows Australia bowler Scott Boland holds up the Johnny Mullagh Medal after the MCG Ashes Test. Scott Boland took 6-7 to rout England for 68 and secure Australia an unassailable 3-0 lead in the Ashes, but the tourists' batting woes stretch well beyond this Ashes series, writes Russell Jackson. It's nothing short of remarkable, considering the months leading up to this Ashes series for an Australian Test side that has not always carried themselves as world-beaters. So Australia would head into the first Ashes Test with a new captain, a new wicketkeeper and few definitive answers as to what their best Test XI even was.
