England have beaten Australia 3-1.
In Australia.
It is England’s first series win in Australia since 1987.
The last time they played on Aussie soil they were hammered 5-0. And it was a humiliation. Now the boot is well and truly on the other foot.
It was a record breaking series. Several feats stand out.
The astonishing batting of Alistair Cook. He batted for longer than any other English player - over 36 hours in total, scoring 766 runs in the process.
Every time England won they marmalised the opposition. It is the first time in Australia that a visiting test side has won three test matches by an innings.
England recorded their highest ever score (644) in Australia.
England head for the World Cup buoyed by the words of the departing Paul Collingwood: "This team can go as far as they want to. They're a very, very special side."
“Paul Keating, Crocodile Dundee, Yvonne Goolagong, Dame Edna, Kerry Packer, Skippy, Clive James, Kylie, Rolf Harris, Sir Les Patterson....
We gave your boys one hell of a beating.”
