The team song was sung right after the win, no care in the world from the boys, just pure delight and joy to win back the urn and create some history.
Ryan "Ryano" Harris claims a 5fer, Chris "Bucky" Rogers scored his 3rd Test century, and our team remained unchanged and united for the whole series.
And some muppets said our boy Bucky was "too old".
Extremely proud right now and will hang onto this moment and the emotions for many years to come. Well done to the Baggy Greens, the team, the coaching staff and, of course, the supporters who have stuck by the team through thick and thin. It makes it feel that bit better.
"Australia, you f****n' beauty!"(*The video clip above of the team song was not uploaded by me)

Wasn't it thrilling! Can't believe the whole series really.

How long have we waited, Lou. Not just to win back the urn, but 5-0.
I don't care what the critics say. This was a capable English team and we broke two of their key players, mentally.
South Africa obviously have the edge, but I still believe we can take them.

G'day Ian. A very satisfactory summer what?
Aust team was second rate three months ago they said ( and I wasn't too sure either.)but they ran a kitchen too hot for some!
Now to do it away from home.
Shaen, long time champ.
Very pleasing indeed, now with a 4-1 ODI series win. Not really too fussed about the T20s. If anything it will prove if the Big Bash is actually helping players perform for Australia in the format.
My sights are now on the South African series, and a few of our boys have departed already.
