Australia spank England 5-0
Sydney, Australia:.
Stuart Clark
It was wild celebration in Sydney Australia, this morning local time after Australia crushed rivals England by 10 wickets to take the fifth and final test match at the Sydney Ground, Down Under, to wrap up the series 5-0, the first white wash in over 85 years between the two teams.
England first made 291 all out, and Australia replied with 393, England in their second time at bat were skittled out for 147, and the Aussies openers Justin Langer 20, Matthew Hayden 23 cruised home with 46-0.
Australia's strike bowler Stuart Clark was named man-of-the-match
for his match figures of 5-91.
It was a fitting end to the career of spin bowler Shane Warne, who became the first bowler to take over 700 test wickets, and fast bowler Glen McGrath.
While, Shane Warne will not play international cricket again, McGrath only retired from playing test matches and will stay on to play one-day Internationals up to the ICC World Cup in March and April in the West Indies.
