Ashes stats

[vvvslaxman]

Piss poor batting by both sides apart from Ian Bell. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/the-ashes-2013/engine/records/batting/most_runs_career.html?id=7362;type=series

both sides can thank a strong batting performance from their tail (numbers 8,9, 10, 11) Without Ian bell this ashes would be tied right now... Should get the man of the series award. Broad has been another big player for England

Steve smith vs Ravinder Jadeja heading towards Federer/Nadal rivalry..

Australian bowlers have bowled very well. Its their cowlashers like khawaja that have let Aus down.

^+1 ..i cant imagine how humiliating it would be for the aus batsmen if they ever had to face the current aus pace attack

[Trichromatic]

England has edged ahead of Australia at key moments in this series. Otherwise Top 5 batsmen has 4 Aussies in the list. Same goes for the bowling. Ryan Harris, Peter Siddle and Lyon and Starc have better average than English. I would say that Swann was the difference between two attacks as Aussie pace attack is as good as (if not better) than English bowling attack.

Ian Bell and Broad, the only difference between two sides neck n neck. Was fun following the Ashes.
