Congratulations AUS ... ENG were non-competitive and completely outplayed ... very disappointing and somewhat embarassing !!!!
But why is it that the AUS team and fans are so ungracious winners or losers ??? :-[

A 5-0 annihilation of one of the most successful teams in recent times and winning the final test within 3 days is a fitting end to deserving, if over arrogant and ungracious, victors.
To totally 'DECONSTRUCT' this England team is a genuine accomplishment for a team under reconstruction themselves!
England showed no backbone.
Grace and Australians are diametrically opposed.

England lost 20 wickets in 543 balls in this Test; in other words, they batted 90.3 overs
- which is three balls over a regular day's play - and were bowled out twice.
Since 1910, only once have they lost 20 in
fewer deliveries
:
against West Indies in Kingston in 1986, they lasted 530 deliveries and were bowled out for 159 and 152.
Against West Indies
at Edgbaston
in 1995, they lost 19 wickets in 446 balls -
Alec Stewart didn't bat in the second innings because of an injury.

Jim Laker's 46 in five Tests in 1956 is the highest in any Ashes :
while the best for Australia in a five-Test Ashes is Shane Warne's 40 in England in 2005.
Johnson's 37 is the best by an Australia bowler in a five-Test Ashes series in Australia.

For England too, it's the
fifth time
they've been thrashed by a 5-0 margin -
they suffered two such beatings versus
West Indies in the 1980s.
