After the disgrace of the judicial inquiry. With Australia finally out of their misery of England, retained the ash style finds your press itself in a depressed state. The Australian sums up the prevailing mood of resignation, with the headline "Ashes Horribilis" leads its coverage. It is an admission that Australia "fact and embarrassing", while Ricky Ponting record to lose three ashes series, England is marked both "dubious and unhappy" as captain.

Immediate focus Herald's Gary tree is put into the fifth test at Sydney, with Sydney Morning demanding changes both staff and education. He expected to come Usman Khawaja. He alludes to the intrigue about Ponting's place, but refuses to turn the knife. Punish the nation for behaves "as a spoiled girl", he says, must accept the defeat with good grace and Ponting's success outweigh his failure.

In fact, there are plenty of recognition of his achievements for Australia. In the Herald Sun Ron Reed says that each call to Ponting well should remind everyone an embarrassment, which he did during Rod Nicholson, in Sydney's Daily Telegraph, argues that the batsman has earned the right to depart on his own terms. "Often", he writes "you don't know what a good wicket click until you lose it." Those should call on the scalp of Ricky Ponting batsman and captain of the Australian team to look at. He has unfinished business as a batsman and captain. "Nicholson suggests that despite Ponting diligently in his first innings is for only 10 runs, batted dismissed and that he more time to get into his Groove in the second required." He didn't ' get it. He goes on to say that "the players admire him as a leader, a batsman, a fighter, a man", it is not his fault, England of the ashes have maintained.

Conviction of Ponting is hard to find. Peter Lalor writes that "an ugly piece of history is" and that is not only Ponting's stewardship in doubt, but his career. According to Lalor, Ponting, is in decline. Elsewhere the Australian RAM his message: "A master and Commander, no further as old guard is issued and recruits are raw", with Malcolm Conn insist Ponting must down the order. Ponting isn't spared either by the Western Australian - "Can we are still on punter?", asks it. Ian Chappell criticized also Ponting. "I was this the right time for Ponting than finish test Captain because you've always thought an expiration date", he said. "Ricky has reached this point." He masters of the World Cup and then remain whether he decides on how a player is entirely up to him. As far as I'm concerned look come on August, if you have a test series, a new captain and a right team. "There must be a new captain to be a new team - it has to be his team." Chappell endorses Michael Clarke or replace Brad Haddin Ponting.

Not everyone is Clarke supports. Sydney Morning Herald, Andrew Wu expresses doubt as to whether he is the man for the job. Clarke is with its own form to the fold, Wu questions already fight, if he would be able to handle the pressure as team leader of the page. "If there is a change to Ponting of page rank according to average 16 of this series, then it would be difficult to justify, in the same breath why Clarke the man to take, should be," he points out. "He had for higher Awards was maintained, Clarke under pressure to keep its place in the XI would be." "During a big score was unlikely, that saved the ashes Australia's position is so hopeless, it would be meeting room remain extremely compelling to his critics, in and outside the Cricket Australia, not convinced about its ability to lead his country." Tree view of the author is similar.

In the middle of the debate about Australia's future, respect towards England, is the Western Australian leading with the headline "Brilliant England keep the ashes" expressed. In the Herald Sun, Peter Craddock, admits that 'Justice has done." England were simply too good everywhere. "Tree, meanwhile insists England must now press home your advantage and the fifth test win"2-2 would be a hollow result,"he says."

Elsewhere Peter Roebuck says in Sydney Morning Herald, with teeth ever-so something gritted, Australia must now learn from England's success.

"Your cricket in this series deserve tremendous credit for sustainable excellence England." Watching you have joy in all save most one-eyed observers, a race not unknown in either given nation. It was a team without heroes or egos, has a hard-working, dedicated, hard, thoughtful outfit that avoided, gripe and ruthlessly crushed a shaky opponents. How much humiliating period of three days at the MCG has been evident.

Andrew Strauss site a cut above 1980s to the glamorous Pommy outfits in the was seen, an era that their deficiencies were through the development of a handful of hidden talented players. That was a time of rebels tours, resolution, cynical domestic Exchange, lazy champions and false prophets. "It took a long time and a lot of hard work and several African trainer, but eventually England have regained the grain that was for so many decades of his trademarks."

The article especially has a sad tone about it, Roebuck warning that this defeat may be just beginning of Australia plummet. "Even can be local pain be confident short lived," he continues. "The malaise is widely used by the look of things." English counties not search Australians with very old urgency. Australia can begin their recovery by recognizing the superiority of as touring team, superiority seems as much off the pitch as on it. The teacher has the students. "Strauss page the domestic many lessons, not least in the attention taught it pays to detail and respect for that points to the basics." Australia in turmoil: indeed a strange sight.
