Australia beat England in the Ashes because they played good, solid Test cricket.
They did the basics well and deserved their 4-1 series victory.
You look at the Australia team compared to what England thought they were going to come up against with Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc and Nathan Lyon - and the only one they've really had to face is Starc because of injuries to the others.
But the guys that came in really stepped up and you've got to give credit to Starc for the way he stepped up and performed. He really took the load to finish the series as the leading wicket-taker with 31. It was incredible.
He was supported well by Scott Boland and Michael Neser and as an attack it was just good, solid Test cricket. They bowled good areas and built pressure - and that is everything you need to do at Test level.
