Australia beat England in third Test to clinch Ashes series.
(From Agence France Presse)
Australia crushed England by an innings and 48 runs in the third cricket Test to wrap up their eighth successive Ashes series.
Trailing by 271 runs on the first innings after making a paltry 185 before the home country cracked 456, England made 223 in their second innings at the WACA Ground on Sunday.
This gave Australia an unassailable 3-0 lead in the five-match series after their 384-run victory in Brisbane and the win by an innings and 51 runs in Adelaide.
In the England second innings, only skipper Nasser Hussain (61), veteran Alec Stewart (66 not out) and Robert Key (23) provided major resistance.
Hussein bravely held up Australia for almost four hours, making light of a painfully cramped left arm which caused him to call for help from the dressing room.
Stewart, in his 125th Test, hit out aggressively in a two-and-half-hour innings yielding 10 boundaries.
