And here we go. Australia with ball in hand. It’s Harris. There it is. He’s got a wicket. Lovely bowling from Ryan Harris. That’s why you like to keep him on. He makes batsman play, gets the ball up there, gives it a chance, and he’s got the England captain. Yes, it’s worked for Australia. Fantastic cricket. Only seconds in it. Brad Hadin has 200 dismissals. Mitchell Johnson has a big big prize and England have a horrible lunch. They gone. What a brilliant catch. So are the dots. They built up the pressure and Australia were the winners. out. Got him. What a massive moment. This is wonderful bowling. Magnificent captaincy. Fourth wicket down. And there’s another shot. He’s gone. Another one to the Aussies this time. Wow. The momentum. That’s it. And another one. Is it another one? Is that a first ball or again? He’s had one of them. Has he got a bag of them? Huge appeal for the people around the bat. Michael Class asked the bat pattern. He was nodding. He said he’s hit it. Just the bounce. Let’s have a look. Oh, there’s a deviation warning. He’s gone. is and he’s gone as well. Root is out of there. It was Smith the catcher. He’s taken some beauties in the last couple of overs. Johnson, isn’t he menacing today? England need a big partnership like Australia’s tale, too. There was an inside edge. I think that’s out. It is out. So, there’s another one. And it’s that man, Mitchell Johnson back in test cricket. Oh, that’s in the air. It’s done. It’s caught. Leg gi’s in place. He’s very handy. Wow. Is it a chance? Is it a chance? It is a chance. Oh, and it’s taken by Chris Rogers. Good days, cricket. Oh, B him. It’s gone back on his stumps with defense in mind. Ky did not know where the ball had gone. played it okay and it went down between his legs. It’s rolled back on the stumps and Harris has got wicket number one. Pulls again. It’s in there. Straight to him. This will be out. He’s got him. Mitchell Johnson’s got him again. Set him up with the short ball and he’s hit it straight down backwards square leg’s throat. It’s in the air. He’s out. He’s out. He’s under. He’s got in. There’s the wicket. Mitchell Johnson has done it again for Australia straight after the bridge break. The breakthrough Australia were after and it’s s loves this time of the game. Charging it is straight after the rain break. Nathan Lion the extra bounce. What didn’t have bounce and what a take from Brad Hatton too, but Nathan Lion, what a delivery. What a take. It was a setup. It was a big setup. And the plans that Michael Clark have implemented throughout the test match, they’re all coming off for the Aussies. Let’s check out it halfway down the pitch, I’m sure. Oh, he’s got better on it. He has. He’s helped it through to the keeper. This is nasty stuff from Johnson. Nasty work. And pretty poor and soft from Braw. Just walking across and a faint little soft tickle caught down the leg side. Taken and taken. Taken. Taken. Grand Swan bags him. Bags him at the gabber. Got him this time. Got him this time. Ryan Harris. He fend it off. George Bailey is in there really close under the lid and he does well. He comes forward and completes the catch. Here we go. Tuck in the air. This will be it. Johnson will get it. Caught and B Johnson ends the test match. Australia one n up in the series. knocks him over with pace. Real pace right through the England captain. What a start for the Aussies. He has bowled brilliantly with this new ball. Mitch Johnson. His first three overs in Brisbane. He was all over the shot. But here he has really found rhythm and pace and direction and put the English captain under enormous pressure. Well played in the end long sweep. This is in the air. This could well be out. Chris Rogers has got that and Nathan Lion’s got the first wicket of the day in the air. He’s got him. Yes, he has. S’s got him again. He’s advanced to him. flipped him away on the on side and George Bailey just hung on on about the fourth attempt. Oh, what a rip. David Warner is the name. A brilliant catch is his game on the pad. That’s close. Was there an inside edge? There’s going to be some overthrows regardless. Now, let’s get the line. Oh, that looks good. Is it outside the That’s good. That’s good enough to overturn the original decision, which was not out. And an edge. Had’s got him. Matt’s going to have to go. Mitchell Johnson’s on fire. Good bowling. Outstanding bowling. softened him up with a couple of short ones and then got the one in the right spot. Found the edge. The crowd with Johnson. This is like the days of Lillian Thompson. In comes Mitchell Johnson now. Oh, how about it? How about it? It’s barely believable. The Adelaide Oval’s gone off and so must Stewart Broad. and taken. Wonderful catching from the Australian captain Mitch Johnson’s got five and he has made an awful mess of this English top order. Gone. Smashed the middle stump out of the ground. Mitch Johnson on fire. There’s been history between Johnson and Anderson for six or seven years in Ash’s series. Johnson just gave him the stare as he ran past him. Straight away Johnson is able to carve out another wicket and close the innings down for England. It’ll be seven for and he’s on his way to another man of the match performance. It’s a long way to go though for Australia. It’s in the air. It’s got there and it’s taken. There’s the first wicket for the Aussies in only the second over. So Cook trying to be aggressive playing a full shot part of his game. Top edge straight down the fine leg. Took some catching though. Oh, not again. Oh, he’s got him again. This time it’s Nathan Lion. Another really good catch on the boundary. Well judged. It was well hit again. They got the man in the right spot. Oh, Peter Siddle. Well, once again, it’s a period of dry scoring that’s brought about a wicket. You haven’t seen a run for four overs in the air. Does it count? Yes, it has. Is that Mitchell Johnson following all the overs? He’d be tired and he’s made ground and got the fingers under it. Sensational in the field, Australia. This is a wonderful catch. It’s a terrible wicket for England. Get they ask, they ask, they get now. Joe Rude has it in him to review this, but he isn’t going to review it because he knows he’s gone. The little glove on it. 13 short of 100. And there’s an outside edge. It’s taken. Michael Clark throws it as high as he possibly can. And Harris has a wicket. 15 overs 1 to 34. He’s got the outside edge from nowhere. going to play shots. There’s he goes again and he’s gone. He’s gone. Isn’t it amazing? He hits the six. He thinks, “Yeah, I’ll just keep plowing it into the stand.” Got him. Second slip. Michael Clark’s grabbed it. Brian Harris back into the attack and he’s got a wicket. Australia now just two away this time. Straight to him. And I think he’s put that down. Has he? No, he hasn’t. I thought by his reaction he may have put it down. He got on the second attempt or something and then it was like, I finally caught it. They’re just going to have a look at this to make sure. Straight in. I don’t know what he’s Well, normally the high fives and that he’s just saying, “Yep, I caught it, boys. Don’t panic. It’s all under control.” Got him. There it is. Ryan Harris finishes the test match. Australia are now 2-0 up in the series and they’ll be hard to stop. Oh, he’s got him round. The wicked first ball. Ryan Harris delivers for Australia again. He’s a champion, this fell. The right angle. Is there an edge? It’s so open that he comes into the attack and he gets a breakthrough. We’re reviewing this one. and does it. Is there anything there? Is there anything there? Oh, no. There’s not much uh movement. There’s a little bit of vibration of some sort coming through SNO. Line ball. It has to be obvious that the wrong decision has been given. And he’s still given after all that process using all the technology. Joe Ruth a very disappointed advancement now in the air. He’s got him. David Warner behind point. That’s how he fell in the first innings himself. Now the England captain’s gone the similar mode. Has he got enough on it? No, he hasn’t. What a catch. What a catch that is. At midon, Mitchell Johnson hasn’t got a wicket, but boy, what a contribution that is. Once again, Siddle’s got his man Peterson. Oh, that’s a big shout. He’s looking for out swing. The umpire says not out. It’s a big review if it’s going to happen. It’s Ian Bell just inside line of stuff. It’s hitting. That’s huge. It was a sort of desperate review by the Australians. Worth taking the chance and it’s worked. That’s full. It’s nicked. Wow. That’s Mixer Johnson getting a wicket at the other end. Frier got off strike and Stokes has gotten out. Yeah. After the crack ball, he stayed on target. Mitchell Johnson that time. Little bottom edge. Yes, he walks. Well, it’s the last two deliveries which have set that up. Couple of out swingers, then one halfway down. Prior, I think, gets an underside edge. [Applause] Oh, that’s full. They want LBW and they’ve got it. That is absolutely hitting them all. Mitch Johnson has blasted brought out again. [Music] And a big shout and that’s the end of Tim Brezn thought about letting it go. All he managed to do was almost get the face of the bat to the ball and a simple dismissal. As we come back, that will be the end of England’s innings. Completely outplayed by the Australians this morning. Bowling has followed the consistent and intelligent pattern of the series so far. Here we go. Ryan Harris. Oh, straight away he’s crashed into the stumps. England have lost their first wicket with the first ball of the innings. Look at that huddle. They had to track Harris down. He’s produced a ripper. I guess the huddle prior to coming out in the field was let’s not get carried away with bounce and cracks. Let’s get it up there. Let’s get it up. Draw him forward. It’s missed the crack. It skid it on. Maybe clip the back pad and still clip the stump. Yeah, there’s nothing to do with the wicket there. That’s just an absolute peach by Ryan Harris. Oh, has it hit P? Oh, and if it hasn’t hit P. Yes. Then the bats involved and then it’s a catch and then Australia have another wicket. Very full and there’s a take but there’s an edge we’ve got a challenge on. And Joe Root immediately just like the first innings he says I’m not out. It definitely hits the ground, Joe Root, but I think the ball’s hit the bat, too. Out. Oh, that’s out. Yeah, that’s straight off the bat. That’s gone on your bike. Great catch from Brad Hannon. Not sure what he’s reviewing it for. Out he comes again. The cry goes up for catch it. Harris is down there. He’s out. Brilliant bowling from Nathan Lion. You saw Peterson coming down and he just dropped it a little bit shorter, a little bit slower. Was he nicked that? Hadn’t up. Bell stands. The umpire stands as well. It was a big nick. This is a review. Oh, sneakers come in. Mr. Sneakster. He’s overturned it. Australia jumps for joy. Oh, that’s it. Johnson’s drawn the shot. Finally, they get the edge. The discipline of England has been broken. Oh, big shout. That’s the end of Stokes. He’s gone for a massive heave over the onside the bottom edge. That’s the wicket Australia needed. There’s dual delight for Hatton here. Maybe triple. It’s a difficult catch for Perth conditions. Some are spinning, some aren’t, but he stayed with the ball. The shot didn’t distract him. He stayed with the ball and hangs on to it. Oh, that’s off the bat, I reckon. Gone. Swans on his way back pad. Australia are within touching distance of this magnificent victory. That’s in the air and taken. Wonderful catching from Chris Rogers. Look at Mitch Johnson. He can’t believe it. They’re one wicket away from regaining the ashes in the air. And that’s it. That’s it. After four long years, the most famous trophy in world cricket returns to Australia. That’s an edge. Michael Clark’s got it. There’s the breakthrough for Siddle. He’s got the England captain who just pushed it one. Well, Siddle gets one right in the zone. Oh, that’s come all the way back. Wow. And that’s the genius of the ball before. And I haven’t liked the way we’ve been playing. It’s been there. Brian Harris has come on. Picked up a wicked very first ball and not surprising Joe Root’s gone caught behind these days. Oh, that’s an edge. Ryan Harris. He’s always on the tram line, isn’t he? Never far away. And after all that effort, Ian Bell is gone. Gone. Straight down the throat of first Smith. Stokes goes. Johnson strikes. And listen to 90,000 fans at the G. Perfect bowling. Perfect time for a fast bowler to come into the attack. Oh, knocks him over with a beauty. Absolute beauty from Mitchell Johnson. That’s come back in the top l. There it is. It’s in the air. It’s out. Yes, it is. Beautiful bowing. Hostile. And the members are standing as one. They’re appreciating this effort by Mitchell Johnson. That’s fast ball at its best. That’s Lily stuff. [Applause] He’s got in. Knocked him over. The pressure was too much. Peterson’s gone the big one. He’s bowled as clean as a whistle. Reck the crowd roar at the MCG. Big shot going down. He’s given him. He’s got five. First time at the MCG will they challenge this or is he walking off? He’s going and Mitchell Johnson stands tall. He’s got five for 60 10 times this quick. He’s got five the first time at the G. Oh. So Monzy on the defense too often and choosing the wrong ball to let go as it thunders into off stump. Nathan line good bowling. Oh, in swing. Has that hit the pack? It has in the opinion of the empire. Australia will take it. Will England. Cook’s gone to talk to Carbury. Uh Cook said I think Cook said I think that’s out. And Carrey obviously said so do I. Oh, that’s close. Round the wicket out. Siddle’s got him and he’s gone straight off. And that’s the problem with that defensive frame of mind that Carry was in event. It’s another defensive shot. And now after 81 deliveries, he departs for 12. Another single. That’ll bring Peterson. Oh, got him. He’s got him. Oh, what a magnificent piece of fielding that was. run out. Unbelievable cricket. Mitchell Johnson. The man of the series does it again. Out. Oh dear. Oh dear. Three down. Oh, what an epic little chip. Johnson again. It’s Bell. Done the voice. Criy. Here he comes. The man’s place beautifully. Lion picks up another. Oh, he picked it out and he’d be bitterly disappointed with that. Oh, he’s out. Whoa, he’s out. Johnson’s done it. Oh, it’s bowling. I reckon that’s bowling. I think he’s chopped that on. Now Tim Brez is standing his ground, but I reckon this has gone off the bottom edge of his bat onto the stumps. Brezen’s not sure. He thinks that Brad Haden may have knocked it off, but I think this is balding. Edge straight to Michael Clark. There’s wicket number 100 for Nathan Lion. Well bowled. Broad’s gone for a duck. Australia right back in the match. And no surprise once again from England that this is a terrible shot. Been full of them today. Peterson facing Nathan L. Here he goes. He’s out. He’s gone. Straight down the throat of Longoff. And that’s the end. Five for Nathan L. First time in Australia, Bill. What an outstanding performance from the off spinner and Nathan line out surely. Yes. Got him. Johnson gets three. Oh, for one challenging he’s reviewing. Noise is the pad. So there’s no edge there. And straight through it goes. Confirmation. The two Aussie openers are off. They’ve already got their right pad on. They’re ready to go. Nearly slip. What a catch. A lion. He’s having a magical summer. Nathan Lion. Let’s slip. That’s a beauty. A beauty. Get out of here. You never see them taken there. Leg slip has been there forever. I first time I reckon I’ve seen one like that taken. Sensational. Well, what a start. That is a complete error of judgment for Isaac Cook. There’s no way he can review that. No. Incredible start. That’s the mind of a scrambled captain. It doesn’t last though. Guts or not. Mitchell Johnson’s out bowling. Brilliance from Johnson. Brilliant from Clark diving to his right. And the full of length does for Jimmy Anderson. Edge and gone. There it is. Watson’s put one down already this morning, but not on that occasion. One back in the pocket to Watson. Well, Ryan Harris is just an outstanding bowl. Ed gone and another this time to sit. At the moment it’s all too easy for Australia. They’re making it difficult though because they’re just holding a channel and it’s the perfect length. Now they like it. It’s out. That is brilliant spin and bounce. Terrific delivery from Nathan Lion. He was hitting the right spot. He knew pretty well where the batsman was going to be. Just proing forward tentatively. He just clips a little edge and that was a simple one for Brad Haden. In the air, simple catch. Warner just off the pitch. In fact, George Bailey it was dog gone. Another English player lets the ball just cannon into his stuffs. England have lost their eighth wicket. Did it make a healthy sound too and bang straight into his peg and taken. They still need two runs. And only one we get to get. Harris gets his third ranking next in good catch is this again. Vital catch and never giving anything up. What a skill and what a treat for Michael Clark to have a bowler come into the attack and finish off the innings. Oh, that’s good bowling. Oh, it’s really good bowling because he’s got him fishing and edging. Well, he’s beaten for pace for bounce for all the things that the great fast bowlers bring to the game. Serious stuff from Mitchell Johnson above 147. Oh, good catch. Raping catch in the gully and Bell after getting quickly to 16 is on his way. Well, the sense of purpose cost him. Go inside edge. It’s gone. It’s gone. Great catching again. And Peterson for six makes his way off. It’s a great battle between Peterson and Harris. Harris wins the battle again. He swung a couple away and I wonder if this one just nipped back. Caught the inside edge and a good catch there by Bailey at short leg edge and that’s it. Gone. Second ball after the break. Carry another 40. England in all sorts of trouble at 4 for 87. And Mitch Johnson’s golden summer rolls on. Oh, that’s low. That’s kept low and he’s gone. Balance was expecting that ball to bounce a lot more than it did. He was trapped on the crease and it looked like it was dumping into all three. That’s come off the back and that’s brilliantly caught. This is extraordinary. A duck for Johnny Vesto. Three wickets have fallen in the blink of an eye. catch. Oh, what about that? This is unbelievable from Australia. The catching, the bowling, the demolition is something that is breathtaking. That is a super catch from Michael Clark to go with the one that Bailey took a moment ago. Oh, got him. on him. A little drag on, a little smile, another little nail in England’s coffin. And a nice change from Michael Clark. The first ball. Ryan Harris comes back into the attack. Oh, he got him. Finally. Ryan Harris. Too good. Full straight. Broad goes. England have all but gone. Well, England went about six weeks ago. Oh, yes, yes, yes, yes. The earn was regained. Redemption is complete. Australia have beaten England by five to nothing.

I forgot Nathan Lyon had hair.
Michael Clarke one of the best test captains and an absolute nightmare for India 😢 awesome unconventional field placements in test format which only aggressive captains do👌
14:44 ball of the century for me.
Ryan Harris had such aesthetically beautiful deliveries.
Give this kind of pitches to English in the upcoming Ashes and watch Hazelwood recreating Harris, Starc recreating Johnson and Australia taking 100 wickets.
In 2013-14 ashes series, I loved all the aussies commentators which where excellent and brilliant to hear from them. Specially from James Brayshaw and Mark Nicholas they are use to do their commentary in Australia in their era so much years. Mind-blowing outstanding🎉🎉🔥🔥
Australia's field placing and planning was meticulous
This is serotonin
Brutal bowling. Johnson was a demon, sucked the soul out of the English players.
Absolute comprehensive psychological disintegration!
The summer that just kept getting better & better for us Aussies
Careers ended by johnson in this series –
1. Jonathan Trott
2. Tim Bresnen
3. Micheal Carberry
4. Greame Swann
5. Kevin Peterson
These people never played test match after this series .
The Domination!!!!!!!
Can we just take a minute to appreciate Michael Clarke's captaincy throughout. It helped to have Johnson on fire but Clarke never stopped attacking, inviting batters to hit Lyon over the top, George Bailey almost a permanent fixture at short leg. He may not have been the best man manager but easily the best tactical captain Australia has ever had.
5:20 thats one of the best youll see, Inswing, cuting out, 150 kph, off peg clean and Cook no chance, unreal
No one appreciating brad haddin keeping and Australia's catching
I mean there was some quite decent bowling there but the absolutely terrible shot selection from the Poms was something to behold.
I miss Gaz with hair – imagine if he did Yeah Yeah
19:23 that’s a hardcore delivery
@17:43 Billy Bowden with his finger up before he's even taken the catch LOL
Hats off to the editor…
You did a wonderful job
14:43 the Ryan Harris miracle ball that swung into the left hander, pitched and then moved away enough to take off stump.
taking on the stats role for no reason other than i want to

Peter Siddle: 16
Shane Watson: 4
Steve Smith: 1
That's why Australian bowlers are my all all time favorites.
This series for OZ was like perfect water cutting metal shapes slide into groves .. everything was perfectly in place right from opening to middle order to keeper scoring runs and incredible behind stumps and perfect all rounder to fearsome fast bowling to perfect captaincy to perfect fielding and catching and which made umpiring also easy I think umpires were more happy than one in this series …
So many catches. Brilliant fielding
Good ole Joe " I'm not out " Root.😂
It's great when the POM's bend over and take one up the Khyber Pass! 😛
2nd best ashes series I have watched in my 50 years to date. The 5/0 whitewash in 06/07 was my top series.
One of the best Ashes series as an Aussie
It wouldve been epic in 2011 if ray hadley garry lyon and richie benaud commentated on nine in ashes cricket together
This series felt like the Aussies of old Lillie and Thomson kill kill kill
Johnson vs England
Bowling… Fielding🔥
This was one of my favourite test series among the Ashes – Mitchell johnson overplayed all the rest players in the team. Still I remember watching the Live match.. I Used to get freighten by the delivery bowling by him for watching it on TV.. Great Sportsmanship..
Unbelievable humiliation for england
Three things you absolutely love
Aussie pacers dismantling England
Aussie fielding
and David Warner celebration after a catch
Imagine Johnson, Harris, Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins together. Stuart Broad, Botham and Anderson will never ever motor mouth themselves like they do. Look at the dismissals of bunny Cook, Root and Pietersen through the series 😂😂😂
Miss that WACA pitch.
This series was all about Mitchell Johnson bowling absolute fireballs at the opposition
Stuart broad is always scared to bat when it comes to Aussie quicksi
so nobody gonna talk abt Aussie's fielding?
Clarke's captaincy
Johnson's firy bouncers
one of the best Ashes series of all time ❣️
I'd take moustache Mitchell Johnson over any other bowler any day of the week.
Makes me remember how much I hated Mark Nicholas in commentary
The Harris Johnson show
