Australia hold a 2-0 lead in the Ashes series after needing just under an hour's play on the final day in Adelaide to pick up the four wickets they required for victory.
'Tough to watch'
Andrew Strauss led England to victory in Adelaide three years ago but now, from his position in the Sky Sports commentary box, he admitted it had been unpleasant viewing. Strauss said: "It's tough to watch just for the contrast with three years ago when everything went our way. This time everything seems to be going wrong. It's hard to find any bright sparks from this Test, apart from Joe Root's play. Those players will be really hurting at the moment. Most of them experienced what it was like (winning) three years ago and now they are seeing what the other side of the coin looks like. They are going to have to find a way of dealing with the short ball better and showing more resolve and fight in Perth if they want to get anything out of that game."

Man of the day
Peter Siddle has established himself as a respected member of Australia's squad in recent years. His old-fashioned line-and-length virtues are easily overlooked when compared with the more obvious talents of the blood and thunder duo Ryan Harris and Mitchell Johnson. But Siddle has now dismissed England's dangerman Kevin Pietersen nine times in Tests, more than any other bowler, including twice in this match. On day five, it was Siddle who took centre stage with the wickets of Broad and Prior to hasten England's demise.
