Bowlers win test matches.

Australia had two bowlers who failed to perform. Despite all the hype, Brett Lee has a test bowling average well over 30. After playing so many tests that is not the bowling average of a top test bowler.

Australia's batting has been badly found out. The pressure is relentless against four excellent pace bowlers with a competent spinner added.

Look at the difference between what Australia's bowling attack came up with compared to England's. When England bowled there was venom in the attack and swing that wasn't there when Australia bowled. England's bowlers as a group are simply in another class.

Australian cricket is now clearly in decline. Australian Test careers will be ended as a result of this series.
